It's just a difference in temperament, so there's not much to be done about it. I had a guy offer me dramamine for my son once. I didn't take him up on it since I wasn't sure about the safety or dosage for a 20 lb kid. <br /><br />Good luck, and like other people have said, it's a stage and they do grow out of it.

I had a pretty awful flight with my son a few months ago, and the stares (which also included eye rolls and audbile sighs) were the worst. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do, so screw them! Good luck with your future travels.

I love your parenting stories, hearing about your novel progress, and just being able to keep up with your life through fb and your blog. I love how you write your blog posts, I can picture you saying the words and it makes me smile.

Airplane rides are no fun, especially long ones, and who can blame Jack, he doesn't know any better! Shame on those judgemental stares, I know we have all been there, annoyed by the crying kid on the plane, but everyone on the plane is just annoyed in general, so screw it. If it's not Jack they are annoyed by, it's their snoring neighbor, the flight attendant, the delays, the turbulance, something. Nyquil for children?

It also helped we made a 2-blanket-cave to create the necessary-for-her darkness. Good luck. I don't envy you. We only go home once a year because it takes a year to recover from the flights!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669307412041079623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516200136293375097.post-72733598455260639602012-11-26T09:18:31.368-08:002012-11-26T09:18:31.368-08:00I think the solution here is to have me travel wit...I think the solution here is to have me travel with you at all times and punch people who give us dirty looks.

I looked to another mother who had multiple children a bit older than mine and asked, hoping for sympathy, "I bet you've had your share of this kind of stuff too, huh?" <br /><br />She looked at me with a benign smile and said, "Actually my kids have never thrown a fit."<br /><br />I didn't like her after that.<br /><br />Hang in there. It doesn't feel like it in the process, but these phases do pass all too quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
