There should be an area on planes specifically for parents with young kids. The airlines have got away with it for years not providing better facilities for parents with kids. They seem to think offering them a colouring book in a bag at the beginning of the flight exonerates them from doing anything else. Meals could be better for kids and there should be a bit more space for them and definately access to a toilet where kids get priority if nothing else.
My kids are mostly grown up now but on the times i have been on flights to/from Phil i have watched and tried to help people with kids. Travelling for 24 hours with children when you can hardly move is definately NOT fun and this of course will ALWAYS affect other passengers. Perhaps the airlines should take note and do something about it.
