Wow, you have been very very fortunate. You must tell us how to get to your parallel universe. I'm not saying that ALL kids must be banned from airplanes. As a matter of fact the worst passenger I ever sat next to was the smoking geezer who dumped a bloody mary on me. That said, I'm in total agreement with the others who have said "the kicking along with the lack of any sort of attempt to make it stop" is maddening. If a kid kicks your seat once or twice, no big deal. But if it continues and you've asked nicely for the parent to make it stop - only to get a weak smile and a lame excuse why you can't control your kid - that's unacceptable. There have been many many kids on flights who are well behaved and obey their parents when they're told. and then there's people like what's-his-fuck who let his kid scream because he couldn't sit next to mommy - that's inconsiderate.
