Travelling with young children is stressful enough, as it is, without having fellow passengers tut-tutting in your ear all the time!
I was flying with my four month old back to the UK. The chap infront of me looked horrified, I told him it was OK he was a good baby. I was lucky, my baby slept almost whole flight strapped to me in a carrier, I even read a book. The chap infront was full of praise when we landed, I was full of relief, we all know it could have been much worse!

don't get me started, we flew with US Airways our youngest couldn't equalise his ears and cried. We did everything we could eventually the Steward came to us and told us to 'Shut it up'. We asked her what did she want us to do as we had tried everything. She then stamped her feet started shouting threw a bread roll at me and threatened to have us arrested. I told her she was an idiot and she stormed off.

We flew from Heathrow to O'hare on a look/see trip a couple of years ago, paid for by my OH's employer. The airline messed up and over-booked the flight and we ended up being put in First Class with our then 4 year old!!! On top of that, the stewardess was the bitch from hell. I could not get my son to sleep, eat or anything - he was over-tired and cranky as you'd expect. All she kept saying was "can you keep the noise down other passengers are trying to rest" I just wanted to crawl under my blanket and die.....

Who are you talking about exactly??

The child person who up-chucked. Obviously he conspired to make himself vomit at the most inopportune moment in a bid to spite his liberal, Guardian-reading parents, thereby preventing them from boarding the aircraft.

And all because little Timmy got the Sony Wii without the zombie game.

Get off my lawn.
