I'm curious as to how many of you who think the parents need to "control their children" would rather spend 13 hours hearing mommy yell at the kids. Kids and adults have good and bad days. And its not like mommy could decide to get off the plane halfway through the flight because baby was teething or tired or whatever.

Perhaps if y'all had taken 5 minutes to engage the children in some conversation or a card game the flight would have been more pleasant for everyone and they (as well as you) may have learned a little something about good behavior.
