Are We There Yet? When Families Fly.
SURELY they could spare a little milk, right? But when John and Mary Rose Lin of Jersey City ran out of milk for their 18-month-old twins on a recent Continental flight from Newark to Maui, the flight attendant onboard refused to give them more. That particular beverage, the Lins recall being told, was for coffee, not children. “I was not asking for a full bottle, just a cup,” said Mrs. Lin, noting that she even offered to pay for the milk.

Instead of children flying for free they should require the parents to pay double for them! Or make adult flights only!
Lol Ken Young:):). To be honest the thought crossed my mind. People need to be more considerate when putting their children on long or short flights. Regarding the Flight Attendant not providing milk, I have no doubt they are even more sick and tired of children because they have to put up with them for their job every day. It was probably some mean way of saying "Im so tired of dealing with your screaming babies and unruly children". When my step son was very young he was always so well behaved on flights, now he's a fireman who the Flight Attendants all flirt with lol.
Oh..As one of the little brats ran by I would have tripped the little sh*t.
Lol Ken, my husband and I had to fly to Washington D.C. for a meeting and we were in first class on American and I could not believe it when the last people boarded, a family of 5 all on first class and it consisted of parents and 3 children all in first class with us! I was so mad. I sat in the window seat. In the beginning the children were very well behaved and quiet but eventually became restless and loud. I love children just not on flights. Finally I yelled at the parents to get their "dam children under control" and loud too. The mother got so mad at me that it seemed that she encouraged and let them be a burdon. Finally I told my husband to switch seats with me so I could trip one of them like you told me to. My husband said "I don't want you to get arrested for assault on a child" loool. Soi yelled at the mother again and loud too so she called the flight attendant who heard everything. The attendant was so cute she told mother "I didn't hear anything and if you don't control your children I will be forced to move you to the back of the plane because this is first class". My poor husband was so relieved the "mommy fight was over". The flight attendant winked at me as she walked by, sooo sweet. Finally peace and quiet. Although the flight attendant should have told them to shut their children up during the first episode.
What are the flight attendants on? That was just cruel.
Oh these poor people, maybe they shouldnt have tried to go non stop from Newark to Maui. Common sense, which is sorely lacking in 21st century American parents, should have indicated to these dolts that a stop over in LA or SFO would have allowed them the opportunity to buy more supplies for their snot lockers as well as a break from being in an aluminum tube and give the rest of the pax a respite from being subjected to their selfish behavior. One thing the "golden age" of flying had was a dearth of poorly raised brats in the cabin, that in hindsight is what made it golden.
