I know, I know - I'm being slightly extreme here, but I think perhaps you're expectations on what a flight attendant should do are slightly high here. If they help your wife out, then great...but if they dont grab your wifes stuff or help with your child, I highly find them to be poor flight attendants.

Realistically though - if this is the service you expect, and your wife just cant board in a timely manner with your child to the point where you think it may delay take off (as you suggested in your post), perhaps you should invest in a nanny or a personal assistant, rather than expecting Delta to assume that role.
So you must be one of the rude Delta employees I deal with all the time.

IMHO I wish Eastern were still flying and not Delta. If i opened a can of worms so be it. But its the responsibility of the FA to assist. Otherwise go park cars or clean hotel rooms.
