Reply #188: The airline story is not about being a parent or child-free.

It's about airline safety and an uncooperative passenger. It just so happens the passenger was a mother with her child. But, if I refused to comply with a flight attendant, I might be be brought back, too.

It annoys me that this whole story boils down to "Shut your kids up!"-- "You hate kids!" for some DUers. I think there is more to the story. I can't imagine a pilot turning back a plane just for a babbling kid. There must have been a fairly significant altercation.
