I like the grouch (not me this time) who glares at parents who are flying with a very small child who is crying (probably because they're suffering due to the pressure in their ears, since they don't yet know how to release that pressure). These assholes think their glare is going to somehow convey the necessity of shutting the kid up such that the parents will then magically be able to keep their kid from crying from the pain or whatever. They can suck it.
But I give no slack to parents of brats. Keep your fucking kid from kicking the chair, talking to loudly, turning around in their seat (which is cute to the person behind you for all of 15 seconds), whining, singing, whistling, running in the aisles (parents of these children, should be shot in the face) and lots of other shit I don't have time to mention.

Why is it that people can take time/days off by pleading "children" issues, yet I can't waltz in on Monday at 11 and say "Well, I was feeling rather toxic after the weekend and figured I'd sleep in late and hit the gym before coming in." If we're both missing the same time, why is one excuse A OK but the other not? Shouldn't the childless get equal "personal time" to put them on even footing with the free time parents get?*
* And don't say its not "free time" when you're dealing with kid issues. Any time for personal issues outside of work is "free time." You choose how to spend it.
