😂WTF😂 Mother allows kid to bother exhausted airplane passenger throughout 2-hour flight, internet discusses the importance of effective parental oversight:

[Pr3sch00l]

The last thing any exhausted passengers want on a somber flight to a family funeral is a kid begging you to let them play games on your phone and showing you the already-chewed food that they have in their mouths. One can absolutely adore children and be happy to entertain them throughout a short airplane ride, but many scenarios will make a situation like that less than desirable. At the end of the day, it's up to the parent flying with their kid to keep their child in check so situations like this can be avoided. The airplane passenger in this story wasn't so lucky, but the story prompted a much-needed conversation about parenting.

This exhausted passenger was traveling to a family member's funeral on Thanksgiving day when they were sat next to a child, whose mother was sitting apart from them. The original poster (OP) did not give an exact age for the child, but based on their behavior, one can assume they are under 10 years old. While the kid's mother was sipping on a glass of wine rows behind, the child begged for the passenger's attention and wouldn't let up for the entire flight. Commenters started a lengthy discussion about parenting, especially during travel-heavy holidays. Scroll to read.
