Some people have them, some poeple don't. The woman sitting in front of us on the 7 hour flight back to the US obviously didn't. At first I was glad that there was a mother with a little girl, who was probably a month or two older than Emma, in the row in front of us. Usually the sight of a baby so close to someone on a plane brings great dismay to many, except those who have kids with them.
So, there is this baby, who makes eyecontact with Emma between the seats, and a baby friendship was born. Fine. Well, as the trip progressed, the mom (who was also travelling with her 9 year old son back from Italy) would put her earphones on and ignore everything her little angel was up to. Everytime Emma tried to go to sleep, this baby was jumping on the seat, throwing her doll and bottles down at Emma, all the while she was watching some movie. Not only did she ignore all this, but would get up and go to the bathroom, leaving her little angel to run around the plane.
You think thats bad???? Well, at one point, John and I looked at each other with that "something stinks" look we give to Emma so many times.. Next thing you know, I see her changing the poopy diaper right there on the seat for all to smell. Wait... it gets even better. She then takes some stuff out of the WH Smith bag (which was ripped), put the diaper in it and then stored it under her seat for the remaining 4 hours! John didn't say anything, but if she was in front of me, I would have told her to go throw it out. There is a bathroom there, and I would have even given her one of my powder scented diaper bags to put it in.
Who does this??? Really. Anyone of us who have kids knows how nasty even a pissy diaper can smell, but seriously... a shitty diaper under your own chair? She didn't look nasty, but her manners were.

I'd have been sorely tempted to pick up that poopy bag under her chair, and kindly deposit it on her lap while she was so engrossed in her movie. I'm just like that. :)
oh....by the way, that was me....Marlene. :)
