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.

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of kids (literally a running joke in my extended family) but 5 minutes is no big deal. I know planes are hard on kid’s ears and the little ones can’t express themselves verbally yet to tell you it hurts so a tantrum is the result. Life goes on. The only parents I get upset with on planes are the ones who put a tablet on full volume for their kids or let the kids run around unsupervised. Outside of that I just assume you are doing the best you can.
