Was I wrong to refuse to swap seats?
I will say that sometimes parents and children on planes can be a nightmare. Once I had my daughter on a flight with me when she was about 4 years old. She was up and down the aisle, busy as ever. At a certain point, she was extra fretful. A compassionate woman across the aisle whispered to me to bring more activities next time. I hadn’t prepared well for how to occupy her attention.
Yes, that mom could have reserved a window seat to occupy her daughter. She also needed other games, toys, etc. to keep her daughter engaged. When a parent isn’t equipped to keep a child occupied, others often suffer the consequences.My cousin always needs to have the spotlight shining on her. She swoops in from time to time to see the family and takes up all the oxygen in the room.
Recently, we were all gathered, and I was telling a story. She jumped in and interrupted to tell a story of her own. I was cut off midsentence. This is so common that nobody did anything other than turn to focus on her. I was livid.In the moment, you could have said, “Hold on. Please let me finish my story before you tell yours.”
Now, after the fact, you can still call her on it. Tell her that you do not appreciate it when she interrupts you. It is rude. Ask her to be more thoughtful next time. If she acts as if she is unaware of what you are talking about, give her a couple of examples and let her know that next time you will push back. You deserve to have a voice, too.
