The flight attendant asked me if I could try to squeeze in, but I said no, that I wanted the extra seat I paid for.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Because the child was only 18 months old, he didn&#8217;t need his own seat and could&#8217;ve sat on his mother&#8217;s lap for the duration of the flight &#8211; but the mum was hoping for some respite from a squirmy toddler.<\/p>\n<p>The passenger said: &#8216;I got dirty looks and passive-aggressive remarks from her for the entire flight and I do feel a little bad because the boy looked hard to control &#8211; but am I in the wrong?&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>READ MORE: Selfish&#8217; dad&#8217;s shocking plane act sparks outrage: &#8216;Divorce him immediately&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/19\/23\/75318195-12883213-Thousands_were_outraged_by_the_man_s_behaviour_and_many_women_sa-a-1_1703028036957.jpg\" height=\"722\" width=\"586\"><\/p>\n<p>Many slammed the mum and the flight attendant for their &#8216;horrific&#8217; behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The mum is an a**hole for not buying a seat for her son and assuming someone else would give up a seat they paid for.
