Like they always say, babies don’t come with an instruction manual. This teenager flying solo on a plane knew this very well and was aware of her shortcomings when it came to baby knowledge, but when the mother seated next to her woke her up from a slumber to recruit her childcare services, nobody would listen to reason. 

My mom had my oldest sister when she was in her early 30s, and her own baby was the first infant she’d ever held. Crazy, right? While most people have encountered babies in one way or another before they’ve reached adulthood, it’s also not uncommon to come across people who have no baby knowledge whatsoever. Knowing this, we can’t expect strangers to know everything there is to know about infant care. And this new mom in our next story seemed to think that the teenage girl sitting next to her on the plane should just innately have the baby know-how to accommodate her childcare needs. As if she wasn’t asking a stranger to do her a favor, this mom not only disturbed her aisle neighbor with a brazen request, she also had the audacity to criticize and nearly criminalize the kid who did her a solid.
