The Bad Parenting Passenger
Children constantly have to be looked after, therefore the worst thing a parent can do during a fight is the one thing everybody wants to do — sleep. A sleeping parent on the flight can lead to children screaming, constantly invading others’ space, trying to talk to other passengers for attention, and the most dangerous of them all — getting up and running around when there is turbulence.
When a parent falls asleep on a flight, it’s almost like cueing the cabin crew and other passengers around you to make sure your child doesn’t do anything while you get some rest. That’s nobody’s responsibility but yours and nobody appreciates bad parenting on a flight. Unfortunately, trying to get some shut-eye may result in you and your child ruining the fight for everyone else.
