A guy I work with recently went to Europe on vacation with his wife and 10 month old son. My co-worker is like 45....

He had never flown with his kid before, so I was messing with his head telling him of the horrors of flying with a baby. I also told him about people we saw when we were flying to (or from) Seattle, pouring cough syrup down their kid's throat.....to keep him....um...docile.

He seem altogether too intrigued.

Well it turns out that he did in fact "medicate" his poor kid. Benadryl on the way there (which had the OPPOSITE effect), and then Tylenol on the way back...which apparently worked much better.

Jesus... It's like he's afraid of his kid! We do just fine with a portable DVD player and some toys.

I gotta say I'm pretty disgusted with him.

You mean you're not afraid of your kids?

 

[MMike]

Well....maybe a little.

More afraid of my wife...

 

[fluff]

Maybe his wife told him to do it. Caught between a rock and a hard place..

 

[MMike]

Hmmm....that hadn't occured to me.

 

[McGRP01]

Is this not a common occurance?

 

[MMike]

They are kids, not animals....(well some are I guess)... but mine aren't

I plan on jumping out from underneath my children's bed in the middle of the night, destroying their stuffed animals and killing their pets. Of course all while wearing a MMike mask to help instill the hate at an early age. Their days will be spent learning torture techniques and general ninja skills.

And if it takes drugs to really get it to sink in, then so be it.

 

[jonKranked]

only moderately appalling. everyone that wants to have kids should be required to take a test a get a license, much like a drivers license. And then you could get a PUI - Parenting Under the Influence

Side note: Do you suppose Suri Cruise is being programmed in seclusion to hate me?

As much as celebrity scientologists annoy me, I suspect that you are some how a minor god to scientologists.

I think everyone is being programmed to that.

Fixed.

Angel dust on their french toast for caving skulls in with hammers training days.

Children shouldn't be allowed on planes anyway...well...mine at least..

Screaming Baby Airlines I tells ya...

 

[MMike]

The kids that you know of anyway..

 

[Da Peach]

Neither... the plane nor the illigitimate offspring...

 

[valve bouncer]

Those parents are obviously idiots. Everyone knows the first rule of travelling with kids is "medicate thyself first".

don't fly Alitalia then...they don't allow DVD players, gameboys or similar devices. see how well a handful of toys will keep yr kid occupied for 8 hours.

i would have just checked the kid in at the luggage counter

 

[Stoked]

pretty funny

 

[dan-o]

I just drop a suitcase on my kids foot during check-in, therefore justifying the administration of tylenol to ease the pain. Only a bad parent would let a kid suffer on a long flight.

 

[Jay Gatz]

not nearly as appalling as letting the little **** scream and cry the whole flight.

 

[Ciaran]

:nonono:

When will parents learn that you use whiskey to knock a baby/kid out. Not cough syrup.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Rohypnol is great for young girls...

 

[S.K.C.]

Sounds like a P.O.S. Dad who wants to take shortcuts to parenting.

Put Ex-Lax in his coffee and then punch him in the face.
