I know, I went on a tangent. I disagree with you on that. There’s no way it’s okay to ruin everyone’s trip because you cannot exist in society. Fix your shit before gambling with other people’s plans.
Fine to disagree, I just find it heartless. Consider this scenario:
You’re a parent of a special needs child
90% of the time, things are fine
9% of the time, they’re managable
1% of the time, they’re not
Your child has been on many flights, and has been fine
This is the 1%
You can’t calm your child, others can’t calm you child, so you agree to depart the flight
It happens to be that it took just too long for the plane to depart, and you feel like shit.
There is no “fix your shit” in this situation. There are a lot of rightfully angry passengers, at the situation. Those angry at the parent need to learn this is the real world and shit happens that can’t be “fixed”.
Now, this could simply be a case of a bad parent. But no one in this thread knows that.
You say it’s okay for them to throw the dice with other people’s lives. I say this is asshole behavior. You say I’m heartless. Now that we’ve both descended to name calling, I think we can call this thread done.
But why not throw out the offending family and let everyone else get on with their lives?
I’m not debating removal, that definately should happen. My debate is with the judgment from commentors despite not knowing the full story.
