Hello,

It seems that there will be kids on the plane regardless. I love kids, don't have any but someday hope to. Anyway, for those of you who have kids, if, for some reason, your kids were being really loud and made it difficult for others. How would you like to be approached about it?

I usually do the ear plugs, noise reduction headsets, close my eyes thing. But a few times, I wish I would have asked the parents to do something. In a couple of instances, I don't think the parents realized that the babies were screaming because their ears hurt and that, so I have been told, giving them a bottle helps with that. But I didn't want to embarrass them (at least I thought I might embarrass them).

I am looking for suggestions that can make a situation better. Kids are gonna be on the plane no matter what. Do the non-children passengers have the right to speak up about it? By the way, I love those kids that kick seats!

Cheers,

Richard
