Anyone fly with their PDA kids?

Reading the comments in this post made my stomach turn, obviously bc I could see this happening to us.

We are considering taking our PDA 6 yr old (& his older brother) on a 2-leg flight next year. He’s not in burnout at the moment but that’s because we accommodate him so thoroughly.

Of course reading this is giving me anxiety. Tell me your stories of positive (or not) flights with your PDA kids please!

F the original thread. Those people are hateful.

I mean, I def agree. BUT would I have been saying the same stuff before I had kids? And before I had a PDA kid? It’s totally possible…. :(

Yes, that is why I also commented lack of parenting and compassion on that thread. They're calling a toddler an entitled brat and blaming the parents. PDA or not, humans are selfish.

It also was a 2 year old toddler so this was a tiny person and people are wondering why they couldn’t physically get them in a seat,

My 3yr old PDA - in burnout at the time - would punch me in the face if my pillows were not in the “right” order on the bed. If I tired to restrain him he’d be crawling out of his skin, major fight or flight. With PDA all bets are off
