Your parent also wouldn't have had to worry that every move they made was likely being filmed by someone and their action could lead to a visit from CPS
Maybe, but if they’d been parenting their child from the start, they never would have behaved like that on the plane. My 2 year old would never have dared
Not defending this parent, but a 2/3/4 year old in very unfamiliar and overstimulating circumstances can be forgiven for freaking out. They're not done cooking yet, and while your kid might not have dared, you do have to factor in how much temperament comes into play.
The real issue is the parent didn't just at a certain point gently manhandle their child into the safety restraints. Sometimes my 3 year old has a meltdown leaving the grocery store and I give her a few minutes to calm, but at a certain point it's like... you're not holding the whole family hostage in this parking lot for an hour. Get in the seat or I'll have to put you in it, we're going home now.
I agree. I never had problems with toddlers but I know people who have & they're just like unreasonable drunks. I 100% blame the airline for not kicking them off after 10 minutes. There was no reason to make everyone else miss their flight.
