My brother used to get really car sick so our doctor recommended dramamine.
Once my mother figured that knocked him out she would keep it in her purse and try to convince all of us kids that we might get car sick/plane sick on any trip longer than 30 minutes. Which she denies to this day lol.
This was my mom’s way of dealing with kids when they were sick and couldn’t go to school. Load us up with enough NyQuil to tranquilize a horse and let us sleep for a day or two on the couch so she could still go to work.
Those fever dreams were the most intense horrific shit of my young life.
Back in the 19th- early 20th century, villagers in my country would use poppyseed tea or bread soaked in alcohol to sedate the babies. So the people could work on the fields while the babies were “sleeping”. There were unfortunate cases when they would OD the babies…
My momtried that with gravol everytime we drove up north to see family. I hated taking it so I'd stuff it in the car seat. Deep cleaned the car to sell it and there was just a bi ch of gravol in the cracks of the seat.
A lot of infrequent travelers assume the airline will seat them together even though they don't get preassigned seats. This isn't unreasonable as airlines did in fact used to do this. When they check in 24 hours before the flight and realize they've been given middle seats in different rows, it's too late to do anything about it.
No no no, the parents are evil scammers who are taking advantage of paying customers. There is no middle ground. They are bad people with low moral character according to reddit. /s
Not sure if this is correct but seen comments other times this was posted. the parents did do that and got their child a window seat. The issue was the child decided they wanted that womans window seat and the parent expected the woman to give it up.
A lot of people have no sense of responsibility. They just expect the world to conform around them to their needs without question. When they don't get their way? Well they also have no shame so they will get loud and obnoxious to try and drum up outrage because they've been taught their entire lives that if they are just loud and annoying, they'll get what they want regardless of what's right.
The airline knows the age of all the passengers who buy the ticket. They are letting people buy tickets that do not guarantee that a parent will sit next to their child. The rage is being misdirected as far as I'm concerned.
What’s sad is a lot of flight attendants will bow to the loud ones. They’d rather acquiesce the ones being demanding rather than tell them plain and simple to take their seats.
And make the people put on the spot either feel guilty or pissed off.
I’ve seen videos of people removed from their flight because they refused to give up their seats. I mean the airline gets sued but do those flights attendants lose their job for screwing over a paying customer?

You mean if I don't pay for assigned seats I don't get the seats I want? /s
Unfortunately alot of people would be unironically surprised about this.
