Mother met with ‘loud sighs’ from passenger while flying with her tired toddler writes inspiring response

There comes a time in most young parents lives when they will have to take their baby on a plane. Anyone who has ever flown with an infant or child can likely tell you that it is not easy. So much worrying goes through the parents’ minds: Will my baby be safe? What if their ears hurt? Will they be able to sleep? And of course… what if they cry the entire flight and upset all the nearby passengers on the plane?
Of course, flying with kids can be a challenge, but it is especially difficult if you are doing it alone. When a mother from Georgia flew for the first time without her husband with her toddler daughter on a cross-country trip – she came prepared. She brought everything she could think of to keep her little one content during the flight, but unfortunately, after the plane took off her overtired daughter began to cry uncontrollably. Although she tried everything in her power to get her to calm down, an angry passenger’s ‘loud sighs’ and ‘huffs and puffs’ only made the situation worse.

In early February 2019, 33-year-old mother-of-five from Georgia, Stephanie Hollifield, was travelling with her two-year-old daughter, Haley, on a cross-country flight. Any parent who has every flown with a young child knows how challenging the situation can be.

Not only is the mom or dad likely worried about their little ones being as comfortable, safe, healthy, and entertained as possible – but many also get stressed that their kid will throw a tantrum, cry, scream, and upset other travelers. So naturally, when preparing for her trip with her toddler, Hollifield – who also works as a parenting blogger – made sure to bring along plenty of toys, games, and snacks in order to keep Haley happy.
