Just because they’re your child doesn’t mean they’re entitled to everything. Some parents think their child can do no wrong, and in the end, that type of thinking actually does them a disservice. Children need to learn to respect other people’s boundaries, even when it’s inconvenient for them. If you just give in to a child’s every single want and desire, they won’t learn anything. They will grow up thinking the world revolves around them, and we certainly don’t need any more of those types roaming the streets. But not every child will learn this from their parents. 

Some parents just don’t have the backbone to discipline their children, and the rest of us have to suffer for it. That’s what happened in this story, in the setting where you least want to deal with other people’s kids: an airplane. Airplanes are already stressful. Everyone is crowded in and paid way too much to be there. Tensions are high, and it only takes one altercation to set everything ablaze. That’s what happened in this story, when a mom refused to discipline her child.
