People often don't do anything to control their small spoiled children. This article tried to make it sound like the airline was unreasonable but i bet the other passengers would tell us that the kid was obnoxious and the parents didn't do enough to get the kid to chill out.

Kids don't just get out of control all at once. It is usually a pattern of behaviour that is allowed to go unchecked by the parents.

The lovely Mrs. and I often have our meals disrupted by unruly children. We have five children and we used to take them out to eat with us but our kids behaved because they knew if they did not they would be disciplined.

Parents often expect unreasonable things from their kids. IE if you take a kid to the store at 10 oclock at night of course the kid is exhausted and will cry and be a *****. that is the parents fault.

Kudos to the pilot and the airline for backing him.
