I'm not even a Mum yet but for another human being to power-trip and demoralise another for something relatively trivial (when it's not like you can turn back the clock; you've already apologised, what else is there that you can do?? Nothing) makes me mad. It did keep me awake for quite a while before I fell asleep, replaying in my head how much restraint I would need to have to stop from doing something I'd regret to that stewardess. Sorry to hear she upset you but good on Scott for daring to face the music a second time!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-91128001857526782942009-06-29T03:44:06.191-10:002009-06-29T03:44:06.191-10:00I'm just now getting caught up on blogs and I&...I'm just now getting caught up on blogs and I'm SO SORRY you went through this! That is horrible! I can't believe the flight attendant was that mean. I would've cried (for a long time) too if some stranger yelled at me like that in public, for doing something you had to do. I'm sure you're over her now - can you imagine going through life with her attitude? That must suck.BriGaalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351364023978308724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-37776486190823055752009-06-26T14:02:58.062-10:002009-06-26T14:02:58.062-10:00Wow, this story is unbelievable.

I travelled with my son internationally alone, and changed him a few times on my lap in the plane and the stewarts actually took the plastic bag from me. You were more of a lady than I would have been. Regardless what that woman's issues might have been, one needs to be able to behave in a professional manner while at work. So sorry you had to put up with that!

I dread to think what it would have been like if you had to go further than Hawaii. Part of the issue is ego and the inability to just LET IT GO. I'm sorry, but this makes me SO angry when I hear about situations like this. Please do not let it be a discouragement to taking Moana elsewhere while she is young.<br /><br />I have no doubt that she will be reported to someone at AA and hopefully will receive the appropriate discipline (desk job or no job), and I am glad that others stepped in where she obviously couldn't.<br /><br />You shouldn't be embarrassed. If anybody should be, it is the flight attendant. I hope she is, but if she isn't then I feel kind of sorry for her - imagine walking around being that bitter and angry all the time. That's hard work! :)<br /><br />Sounds like you have earned some beach time!Lizzienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-45936779701029068032009-06-26T07:40:38.187-10:002009-06-26T07:40:38.187-10:00Yowzers.

Well the tables turned on me after I had my son, I am so sympathetic to anyone having to deal with a cranky child ANYWHERE. Every person should be required to care for a child in a difficult situation to learn to be more sympathetic.<br /> <br />Hooray for your hubby standing up to that bitch and defending you. He is my new favorite superhero.<br /><br />As for Crotchety Old Airline Attendant?

I just bought a plane ticket and will be flying solo with my guy when he is 5 months. Luckily it's a shorter flight but still... I hope the flight attendents are nicer. Would you mind talking a bit about how you handled the milk/formula or whatever you use and flying? I can't figure out what is allowed anymore.

Not sure if it makes you feel better, but we changed at least 6 pee diapers in our seats on our flights. We really had no choice since we were in the window and middle seat with people asleep in the aisle every time. Plus, we had no idea how to change her in those tiny bathrooms.Rebecca DeWirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415966459988763348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-36926490146584042852009-06-26T01:18:06.382-10:002009-06-26T01:18:06.382-10:00wowzers. what a nightmare! i kind of can't b...wowzers. what a nightmare! i kind of can't believe no one on the plane stood up to the old b!tch while she was going off. i am now going to be nicest person in the world to anyone i see traveling with a cranky baby!

That is the most crazy story I've ever heard and I just read it to Ryan and he said that he would have gotten arrested because he would have told her off!!!! Oh my gosh!!! So good job to Scott for keeping his cool (from Ryan). And I bought plane tickets today to fly to the mainland. Am I CRAZY? Thank goodness I bought the trip insurance in case we freak out beforehand :-) Ryan's definitely second guessing our plans...especially since Sara's track record is a bit rougher (is that the right word?) than Moana's.
