Mom Ignores Child’s Tantrum On Plane, Scolds Man For Not Giving Them Space, He Refuses To Cooperate
We often hear people complaining about how parenting is going haywire with the introduction of so many new methods that claim they are the best. Amidst all this, parents fail to understand that positive disciplining can actually be a good thing, not just for kids, but for easing their struggles too.
Just look at this entitled mom on a plane who didn’t even reprimand her son when he was throwing tantrums in the middle of the aisle while deboarding. Instead, she quite rudely spoke to a fellow passenger and asked them to move, but they just refused!

They straightaway refused but she was rude again, so the poster just ignored her, took their bag, and deplaned
Today, we will be boarding into a story about a chaotic kid on a plane and his rude mom, as narrated by our original poster (OP), Logic-Bomb1989. After a long Thanksgiving weekend, they were deboarding a 4-hour long flight when the drama started as people began crowing the aisle.
While the poster was in the aisle, 2 kids—around the ages of 3 and 4—crammed ahead of them and one of them started throwing tantrums right in the crowded space. The little guy started pushing his sister around, and when the dad tried to pick him up, he shouted, “Let me go, I hate you!” Ugh, a crowded flight with a screaming kid is probably the worst combination.
Anyway, his parents didn’t even reprimand him; instead, his mom said in a sing-song voice, “We don’t talk to daddy that way”, and that was all! While the kid was still busy screaming, the poster suddenly heard the mom’s voice adopt an extremely rude tone asking someone to move for her son.
Well, OP thought that she was speaking to her husband, but surprisingly, they heard the same thing being repeated while the mom tapped their back, and they realized that the rudeness was directed at them. Now they were stranded as they couldn’t move forward and still needed to take their bag, so they apologized and told the mom so.
Instead of understanding the situation, the entitled mom retorted that OP’s butt was in her kid’s face, leaving the poster dumbfounded. Meanness doesn’t really get what you want so, of course, the poster didn’t budge for the family but ignored them, stayed put, took their bag as soon as they could, and deplaned.
Probably feeling confused about whether it was the right thing to do, they vented online and sought advice.

Folks online were completely shocked by the parents’ lack of effort to discipline their child while he was being a complete menace and causing inconvenience to others. Some even pointed out that she took out her anger on a complete stranger and it was highly inappropriate.
According to AbilityPath, “Positive discipline is crucial because it promotes your child’s self-control, teaches him to take responsibility for his actions, and helps him make thoughtful choices about how he treats himself and others.”
It has also been observed that in today’s world, children have become disrespectful and spoiled, which leads to them being out of control–making parents or guardians look bad although they are at fault. The poster’s story is a clear example of why positive discipline is essential in order to raise children into responsible adults.
Netizens said that the mom could have been drained from looking after such chaotic kids on the flight, while others blamed her behavior on air rage, which has seen a sharp rise since covid. However, they unanimously agreed that the poster was right to ignore the entitled woman who was being rude to them without any fault of theirs.
Some even advised hilarious replies that OP should’ve given the woman using a sing-song voice. OP replied that they were so shocked by the sudden rudeness that it completely slipped their mind and they really wished they had indeed done so.
Now, imagine you are stuck in a crowded aisle and you encounter such an entitled woman. What would you say to her? Would you simply ignore her or come up with a savage reply? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

I am so tired of people having kids and then failing to parent them. I'm childless because I don't like kids and don't have the patience to be around them. I actively avoid them. People raising feral children make my, and everyone else's, lives miserable. It's a parent's job to teach kids to be positive members of society, not tantrum throwing brats.

It's difficult to judge this situation. Some kids get tired/stressed and don't do well on plane trips and there's only so much the parents can do. It's hard to tell from his description what was really going on, but it sounds like maybe the kids or parents were afraid of being separated. That said, when I fly with my kids I make them wait to deplane until almost last because we need more time to get luggage down, check our seats, etc. And that's much less stressful for everyone including us.

He should've bent down, stared the kid in the face, and told him to stop. It takes a village.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from saying to her, "How about you all sit tf back down and it will no longer be an issue." I'm a mom and would never dream of being a jerk like this to other people. Woman is completely entitled and apparently needs a parenting class (as well as a class on public conduct).
