It works both ways though.
You, unfortunately, have every right to take your children on a flight. I, however,have every right not to give you one iota of extra consideration just because you do.

What consideration
would that be?
(username failed moderation, Mon 5 Mar 2012, 13:21, closed)

I don't know, I've never bothered to give it.
and I'm not really referring to you personally, just the general point that people do seem to expect extra consideration for their children. Otherwise why would the hit me in the shins with their push chairs but not dream of just walking up to me and kicking me in the shins if they didn't have one?
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Mon 5 Mar 2012, 13:24, closed)

Yeah,
I guessed you were just making up some nebulous 'me too' response.

OK, so here's the deal. I won't ask you to change a nappy for me, you don't need to whine about me taking my kids on an aeroplane.

As for the pram, that's solved, they take them off you as you board.

You know, my work day is clearly not keeping me busy enough when I am arguing about you taking your kids on an imaginary flight that I am also on.
Knock yourself out, take your kids on your imaginary flight. On mine they all get locked in a room at the back with one ancient, hairy lipped Matron feeding them gruel from a cauldron while I sit up front getting a shoulder massage by a large chested woman with loose morals.

Yeah, our little
spats aren't very satisfying today.

That bit about the hairy matron and the gruel - that's Easyjet, right?

No, it's RyanAir
Christ you can't even get that right...

You're both being ridiculous
Gruel is an extra on both Easyjet and Ryanair.

Don't want to get hit in the shins?
Easy answer: Get out of the fuckng way!

That's the only thing I miss about having a buggy, particularly in the supermarket. It's not the same with a trolley.

Because it is harder to make it look like an accident when you walk up someone and kick them in the shins.
Admit it - you would bash the shins of annoying people in your way if you could get away with it.
It has little to do with extra consideration for those with children and more to do with consideration for all others.

You're all getting it wrong
Much more fun/effective to get the back of the ankles - has the effect of a 'tap tackle' for half the effort.

A child in a pushchair can easily be trained to kick people too.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 5 Mar 2012, 14:38, closed)

See! This confirms everything I ever suspected.
If you can train one of those things to kick people, you can train them not be utter cunts.

I have - my eldest is quite the lovely, polite, well-behaved young man.
My two month old baby does cry though.

I'm still an utter cunt, mind.

What you are forgetting here, and it's OK, I understand.
Is that I am never, under any circumstances, in anybody elses way. Everybody else is in my way.
