But, The Bayybee!!

In another in the long string of parental entitlement stories, mommies and daddies are now asking that the airlines be responsible for the brats that they, themselves, don't want to travel with.

As if being the last line of defense against terrorism isn't enough, now these people expect airline employees to make sure that precious Bratleigh (or Bratlee if they were 15 when they shot her out) has the most satisfying travel experience possible.

As you will see in this article, Susan Cole and her magical uterus were upset that Southwest employees wouldn't promise to ensure that her twelve year old son would be hand delivered on a down filled, silk line pillow to his father upon his arrival Houston. Not only that, they wouldn't allow him to board the flight early in order to assure that the spoiled brat had his pick of the seats.

I'm surprised she wasn't upset that the stewardess wouldn't breast feed the kid in the even that he got hungry en route.

Okay, here's the deal. If you're too damn busy to travel with your kid, and he's too fucking retarded to fly by himself then he should stay home. This kid is twelve years old. When I was twelve I was babysitting the newborn baby next door at night. I fed her, changed her, sang her to sleep and put her down for the night. I'm pretty sure my ass could have walked on a plane, and then off a plane alone. I probably also could have identified my own father's face by merely looking for it. Was I an amazing child genius? Maybe, but irrelevant.

This is just another case of a coddled brat whose mommie won't cut the cord. Hell, there are kids his age committing rape in Georgia. I'm pretty sure this little gem can manage to put on foot in front of the other, sit for four hours and then foot in front again.

The other part of the article that I like was: "Some parents say they were surprised to get to the gate and then learn that their child's trip would cost an extra fee." Yes, it should cost extra to make the staff of the airplane babysit your kid! Just because you don't care enough about him or her to actually sit on the fucking plane yourself, doesn't mean that other people will!

These people are just one step below the ones that let their kids run around in the aisles for the whole flight and think that the rest of us feel blessed to listen to their monsters screech for three hours while trapped in an airtight container with them.

I'm pretty sure that there are good parents out there, and these yahoos are giving them a terrible name.
