Honestly there is no "situation" to be managed. However, was your infant crying throughout the night? Maybe this could have contributed to his anger directed at you?
Fair question. Nope, not a squeak. He only demands when he's hungry but otherwise we are quite amazed he travels really well. I know he's my son but I'm being objective here. I was only single and without a child in the recent past. I would have been annoyed but appreciate the 'other' side of the equation. Therefore, I make sure others don't get disturbed.
The pax in the middle row (nearer to us) didn't hear a thing and rolled his eyes when he heard the commotion and the eventual chat. Wife was talking to him after incident.
