AIBU, which stands for 'Am I Being Unreasonable', is the perfect platform for sharing your thoughts and opinions! So, for today's AIBU discussion, we have this story from Reddit/Mytzu:

'Today I went on a holiday with my wife, we sat to our designated seats and in front of us there were three kids with the mother sitting on the raw parallel to them.'


'Two of the slightly older kids (10 to 12 y.o.) were well behaved, but the youngest (8-9 y.o.) was such a spoiled little monster.'

'Shouting and screaming if he would not get what he wanted, not listening to the mother to stay quiet, or in his seat for taking off, pressing on the seat in front of him with his legs, and so on.'

'I was quite irritated and appalled by such bad behaviour and just looked at my wife with my eyes in disbelief since the mother tried to keep him under control.'


'The flight took off, he got his iPad and watched cartoons, I had my headphones on and fell asleep.'

'As the plane landed quite far on the landing strip, we had quite a while to wait.'

'The kid started screaming and shouting for this and that, throwing a tantrum and I just had enough, sat up a bit, looked at him and said “Yo kid, you need to shut up.”'


'The kid stopped, said nothing and the mom said “He is just a kid,” but if you can not control your kid to the point I hear him through noise cancelling, it is a bit much.'

'In my opinion I did everyone a favour, even his siblings were tired of him, with his brother saying “I mean, he is not wrong, but not exactly right” which I found it a bit funny.'

'Also the boy that I told to shut up, sat on his seat facing me and stared at me for a while in defiance, I suppose? Doubt I created a trauma or anything.'

'In short, I told a kid to shut up on a plane after he kept shouting and his mother could not bring him under control. Am I being unreasonable?'
