Well, I knew it would be a squeeze, but my kiddo at that age didn't seem to care where she slept or how cramped it was as long as she was laying down. I also knew that if she didn't fit in the bassinet, she'd have been content laying on a blanket on the floor.

I HAVE SO MANY TIPS FOR YOU. Can I get your email address? Or another contact method?

OH MY GOD FLYING WITHIN CANADA SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN. I am picturing a lot of "I'm so sorry that your baby's crying, eh, can I help, eh?" and "would you, eh, like my blanket for the baby, eh?" and some "I am so sorry that the baby's milk landed on me and I wasn't able to find a receptacle to catch it in, and it got…

As someone who has breastfed said baby on a flight, I say God bless you.

Oh gawd, how awful. I'm sorry you were stuck in front of someone like that. In my case, I flew Delta. They require children 2 and up to have their own seat, so kiddo didn't have to have her own. Cost was a major factor in her not having her own seat but also I was certain I'd get the bulkhead seat with bassinet. We'd…

Oh, I totally empathise with the child-free passengers, don't get me wrong. I'm a very frequent flier and was in my pre-baby days, too. I've been trapped on planes with crying babies and wanted to smash my skull in, because there's nothing worse than being trapped in a tin box for hours with a crying child. But what…

Replying to my own comment but ERMAHGERRDD there is a Kinja user called Little Roo and that is my nickname for said crying toddler ERMAHGERDDDSSS

Yeah, I can testify that if your baby is crying on a plane, there's basically NOTHING that can be done. We didn't get the bulkhead seat because there were so many other babies on board that someone else beat us to it, and I'm sure for other passengers (especially those without children) that adds an element of "all…

*Gracious bow*

Pfft, I am on the mother's side here.

Your grandmother and my grandmother could have been BFFs. She keeps Federer by her bedside. And yes, I mean the life-sized cutout.

Oh ma gerrrddd sounds like custard. Is it alcoholic custard? WHY DO PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS?

A very similar situation played itself out in Fort Worth, Texas last year, when Marlise Munozwas kept on life support for two months against the wishes of her husband and parents because she was pregnant, even though the pregnancy was soon found to be non-viable. Her family ultimately won a challenge to take her off…

Aaaw fanks. The woman needs to be an internet celebrity. She's also in love with Roger Federer. She carries a photo of him in her wallet (no pictures of her grandchildren). She has a picture of him by her bed. Oh, and there was the time she stole a life-sized cutout of him from a sporting event...

Oh God, sounds like me and my brother. I love whimsy. My brother is four years younger than I am, and was a little cynical. I don't remember how old we were, but I remember one time he told me he was going to trick the tooth fairy by not telling anyone he'd lost his tooth, and I went running to my parents in a panic…

This is craaaazy.

Hi. British here. Rusty on American politics. You.... Can't go to Cuba?

I present to you my 80-year-old grandmother's handiwork.
