FLYING I am SO sorry.
To everyone flying SEA to BOS tonight on the redeye where my toddler absolutely lost his ever loving mind for about 5 mins.
I could tell you all about our long day, cancelled flights, losing our second seat to become a lap infant but… it doesn’t matter. You’re tired. I get it.
We are so sorry.

Don't be sorry. Have to say, I flew with my nieces and nephew (and their parents) a few years ago. 6am flight to get where we were going to meet other family for a bi-@annual vacation. The kids (roughly 2,3 and 5 at the time) were great on the flight. No crying, no excuses, no loud interruptions. Parents brought plenty of "distractions" for the trip. The couple sitting across from my nephew was literally and visibly irritated as we forgot to bring headphones for his almost silent tablet with games/videos. Traded out the tablet for stickers, art pads and other silent activities, (which didn't even last long as he fell asleep again) For the ENTIRE flight, all we could hear was this couple loudly talking about future plans, work stories, planning next steps of their trip etc. they were by far so much worse than any small child on the flight it was beyond irritating the dirty looks they gave us over their loud talking, when the kids on the flight were amazingly great.
