After She Refused To Give Her Plane Seat To A Mom With Her Child And Husband, The Mom Refused To Reprimand Her Child To Seemingly Get Back At Her
There’s no question that flights can be difficult. No matter where you are or who you are flying with, there’s often something that happens during your flight to frazzle you a little bit.
But what happens when your assigned seat on a plane interferes with a family? TikToker @diaryofasolotraveler explains what happened to her when she got a window seat on a plane in the middle of a family traveling together.
She often likes to have the window seat instead of the aisle, but sometimes that comes with some issues for other people in her row.
“The problem is the people who get mad when they don’t get their way,” she said.
As someone who travels alone, she can easily just board a plane and mind her own business. There’s no one else to look out for, so she spends most of her travel time sleeping.
“I had a six-hour flight,” she said. “I try to plan my sleep schedule on the plane so I don’t end up jet lagged.”
It’s just expected that other people would take care of their children that they’re traveling with. But for her, that’s not necessarily what happened.
“I get to my row, and this woman asks me, ‘Do you want an aisle seat?'” she explained. “I said, ‘Oh, no, thank you. Like, I got the window–I want the window.”
To most people, this wouldn’t have been a problem–just a casual, friendly exchange between the people who you’ll be sitting with for the next six hours. But the situation instead took a turn.

“She was very taken aback,” she said. “She was sitting with her kid, and then she wanted the other seat for her husband.”
This woman expected that her offer would be accepted and that she’d get her way–she didn’t.
“I think out of spite, this woman refused to deal with her child because of it,” she explained. “I fell asleep before we took off– when I woke up, the child was climbing on top of me!”
Needless to say, she was shocked by the child’s behavior and the lack of attention from the mother. It’s something that probably doesn’t happen frequently to you each time you fly.
“I did not know what to do,” she said. “So I forced myself to pass out and then sit through the most uncomfortable flight of my life.”
She dealt with this probably better than other people would have in the same situation. Her commenters certainly thought so.
One wrote, “I would have screamed and caused a scene. Pushing the child off of me, acting like it was a spider crawling on me. But I’m extra like that.”
Others said that calling a flight attendant would have been their first instinct.
“If this app has taught me anything, it’s that people tolerate way more than I ever would,” another viewer commented.
Luckily, she was able to get through the flight, but this is just another sign to be prepared for anything to happen when you travel.
