• You should have returned home after they had packed your belongings to move out. Do not dwell on the seating incident..... The spoiled brat and DIL would have created another drama anyway over something else if you gave in. © Jacqueline Van Der Merwe / Facebook
• If it happened, DIL is a nasty piece of work, and Son just has no idea. To allow this reaction? Not right, if she, his mother asked for an aisle seat, and the 5-year-old, just wanted it to cause problems. Child's mother needs educating. © Andrew Randell / Facebook
• I would have got the next plane home and expected apologies from my son and DIL... I'm a stubborn woman l wouldn't talk to either of them until they said sorry...you weren't in the wrong they were. © Larnie Peterson / Facebook
• I would have been on the next flight available and gone somewhere else. Son is a weak-spined man, walked over by a narcissist. He needs a divorce asap. © Kim Channing-Dewhurst / Facebook
• If this is true, she should have flown home and ignored all calls or texts…the mother DIL, should be TEACHING her son respect and deference to our senior citizens. She is incubating a very unruly teenager! KARMA will settle it all. © Carol Garrity-Vanderpool / Facebook
