So by the 4th person, I'm am livid. Also, on our way from Maryland to Utah once, I paid as much for bags as I did for the dang ticket. Seriously. Ridiculous. I can't believe that guy who dropped his bag didn't even stop to see if everyone was alright. That is seriously obnoxious.Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338200890977453036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-29904848979800394922009-06-05T08:40:12.535-04:002009-06-05T08:40:12.535-04:00Oh my friend, it sounds as though you were truly c...Oh my friend, it sounds as though you were truly channeling me in that airport. Honestly, I have reacted that way more than a few times to extreme frustration while traveling! I'm so surprised you would ever doubt your ability to protect your precious little ones! I have always thought of you of such a strong person, one who stands up for her beliefs and has one heck of a backbone. And now you see what we have all seen...you are one heck of a mama bear!! <br />Good Luck on the move and enjoy those beautiful sunsets. I'm green with envy! <br />love, <br />tiffClan Mac Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226243715918884540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-68734859019070089572009-06-05T07:46:42.662-04:002009-06-05T07:46:42.662-04:00Good for you!!

I really feel it on the playground when another child is behaving badly and I don't have the guts to say something, I usually just steer my kids away. Anyway, thats beside the point. You aren't alone in feeling the way you do and I say good for you to cause a scene!! Honestly-- its going to take someone getting *seriously* injured by a falling bag, and the airline getting sued before something changes, but hopefully you got some vouchers or something?<br /><br />I will say the one thing about complaining about anything when it comes to the airlines-- I think they are so immune to complaints that your experience with the low level supervisor isn't unusual. Sad as that may be.lisahttp://www.itsprettyok.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-42780596755328611942009-06-05T01:35:35.411-04:002009-06-05T01:35:35.411-04:00Sorry to hear it happened but good that something ...Sorry to hear it happened but good that something postive came out of it all...<br />Thanks for sharing moments like this... it is good to know that I am not alone in some of these feelings!Dawn Suzettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483805832809961369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-4036924769037866272009-06-05T00:03:16.104-04:002009-06-05T00:03:16.104-04:00Sorry to hear that horrid story.

I've had a mama bear moment as well. . .it is a bit of a relief, but I had no doubt that I had it in me as my personality is not quite like yours! lol!<br />Yikes....after reading this I am not looking forward to our upcoming flights. Luckily, a lot of it is in a car :)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772723381708427902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-61370543624959999532009-06-04T19:25:59.788-04:002009-06-04T19:25:59.788-04:00so glad your mama bear came out to show you that s...so glad your mama bear came out to show you that she was there- <br />I had to make a small complaint/concern known today at daycare (one of the teachers smokes and my kid's blankie stunk the other day-ewwww). I remained calm, but I do find that so far I am a total chicken to say anything for fear that I am going to look like a crazy mom. sometimes we just have to be heard, esp. when our kids safety/health is at risk.<br /><br />hope mama bear has calmed, not gone into hibernate, but calmed a bit. <br /><br />:)Vanessa/NessieNoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956202676065863060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-60055396413385799052009-06-04T19:23:38.389-04:002009-06-04T19:23:38.389-04:00Good for you-- I think there is an expectation for...Good for you-- I think there is an expectation for women especially, that if a 'higher up' isn't responding in a way that we deem appropriate, that we are supposed to simply slink off. I say no to that. I've sought out managers without hesitation before when in situations where the 'customer service' people just weren't doing their jobs. <br /><br />Sorry that you guys literally felt the pain of these high fees-- hopefully your future travels will be less eventful!!morninglight mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.com
