Why would someone need to help her get to her seat if the stroller is left at the door?

She wasn't using the stroller to take her kids to the seats - it was a double-wide twin stroller that she had folded up and was dragging to her seat.

She was carrying one infant and also had one of the infant seats with handle and wheels for the other infant.

Come on..try to be a little bit human.
Her "job", as a passenger, is to make sure she is able to handle everything when she elected to travel alone with the children. That is what a responsible parent does.

If she isn't fit to fly it is fine with me she doesn't ever fly. That isn't my problem.

"Fit to fly"? That phrase applies to the crew.

True, she may not be fit to fly the plane. So what. She wasn't planning to do so. Is it okay with you if she's a passenger? Do you have a questionnaire and test for the friggin' passengers? Get a grip.

Carry on too big!

First of all did you see the size of the CARRYON she had on her back? There is NO WAY that bag would have fit in the overhead..especially when overheads are designed for EACH PASSENGER in the row to have ONE! Stop the overhead HOGS AND THE STROLLER OLYMPICS IN THE JETWAY. No just because you have a child or two you don't get to bring half the nursery on board! Sick and tired of watching these people who think there are no rules and flaunt them only to shed crocodile tears for attention. Ever see the remnants of the BULKHEAD seats after these chosen people get off? PIGS! We really don't care that you THINK YOU ARE SPECIAL. Yes, you know who you are..you flew this morning to grandmas house in Palm Beach on Delta or Jetblue and made a fool of yourselves,

Have you considered meditation, or maybe Prozac?

It seems this thread has exhausted possibilities for on topic civil discourse and has jumped the tracks into OMNI, speculation and overly personal comments and ad hominem, so it will take a much needed rest.

If anyone is unsure of my references, please read the FlyerTalk Rules for guidance, starting here.
