When it comes to flying, this is not a pleasant experience for everyone.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some people make sure that before they set off on their trip, they take measures to ensure their comfort. But not everyone is mindful of the same thing.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This woman knew what she required when traveling and did exactly that. However, there were others who did not see it that way\u2026<\/p>\n

She found herself in a very uncomfortable position both literally and figuratively. She was torn between prioritizing her own comfort over societal expectations. She was faced with a decision; she could either be generous or stand up for her personal space.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She was headed across the country to spend Christmas with her family. She knew she needed to be comfortable during her flight. Considering her size, she always books an extra seat on a flight. She makes sure to pay extra to ensure her comfort.<\/p>\n

During the check-in, everything went smoothly and she flew by through security and boarding.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It was only when she was sitting in her seat that the unpleasant experience began.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A fellow passenger with her 18-month-old child was sitting next to her. She saw that there was one seat empty and promptly requested that the woman squeeze herself onto one seat so that her toddler could occupy the other one. But seeing as the original occupant had paid for both seats, she refused.<\/p>\n

The interaction was gaining attention, and a flight attendant noticed and came by to see what was going on. When the situation was explained to the flight attendant, she asked the woman on whether she could make room for the child, but she politely declined and asserted one again that she had paid in full for both seats.<\/p>\n

The flight attendant thankfully understood and instructed the mother to hold her child in her lap as most children that age usually do. But, throughout the journey, the mother made sure to make the woman uncomfortable with dirty looks and passive-aggressive remarks.<\/p>\n

After that, the woman wondered whether she had been unfair in this interaction and should have relented and given up her extra seat.<\/p>\n

She took to Reddit to ask the users on whether she had been wrong.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One person, who was a mother herself and had been in a similar situation wrote,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve taken 9-hour flights with an infant in my arms and shorter flights with a toddler in my lap, who was capable of sitting in his own seat and very much did not want me to hold him. Did it suck? Yes. But it was my problem alone, and as long as my child was under 24 months and I didn\u2019t have to pay for his seat, I chose to hold him. I swear, not all of us parents are this entitled!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another person added, \u201cShe\u2019s wrong for not buying a seat for her son and assuming someone else would give up a seat they paid for. Odds are she was hoping there\u2019d be extra seats on the flight so she didn\u2019t have to pay and used the lap thing as a loophole.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019d go so far as making a complaint to the airline about their employee supporting another passenger harassing you,\u201d another outraged Redditor wrote.<\/p>\n

Another annoyed user said, \u201cYou should always do what you can to be as healthy as you can, but being fat isn\u2019t a character flaw or a moral failing. We all have our own challenges in life, and you deserve not to be ashamed of your body and yourself, even if you aren\u2019t currently meeting your goals. If the mom wants an extra seat for her kids, she should have purchased one. She\u2019s not entitled to a seat you purchased, and you don\u2019t need to feel bad for her bad behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

While, some people could also perhaps see the mother\u2019s side in wanting to have a comfortable flight as well. However, had that been important for her, she would have made sure to prioritize getting a seat for her child.<\/p>\n
