I try to live my life by this principle, and wish society would do the same:

I have the right to swing my hand only so long as it does not hit you.

Some children are fantastic on planes. Others are nightmares. I have had many FC flights ruined because of someone's child who just wouldn't stop screaming. I wasn't upset at the child, but at the parent. The parent should be sensitive to other passengers' needs, and not view themselves as the onmly important person in the world. If your child is not a good flyer, sit in back. Please don't ruin everyone else's trip.

I am not a parent yet, but will be. When I am, it won't give me the right to trample on other people just because I CHOSE to have children. We all need to think more of others and less of ourselves. A screaming child in FC gives maybe some pleasure to the parent(s), but diminishes the pleasure of others.

And, yes, I think people in FC have a greater right to a quiet cabin than people in coach.

Why is it that people freaked when the pig was in FC, but defend to the death people's right to take infants in FC? You shouldn't take anything or anybody you can't control into first class. It's just rude.
