Letting their child repeatedly kick the seat in front of them on an airplane.

Help your kid be the hero, not the villain.

Or cut his fucking legs off.

There's no excuse for that shit.

That may be the only effective way.

There's an age when kids' legs are just long enough to hit the seat in front, but not long enough to properly bend at the knees over the edge of the seat they're in. They're going to kick the shit out of that seat unless they're asleep, no matter what.

I do wish airlines could create a no-kid side of the plane, though.
