I READ with total disgust the article headlined ''Lose the kids, not the baggage'' (South China Morning Post, June 1).
I happen to be a mother of three energetic children (ages 6, 5 and 2 - all boys) who makes several trips on the plane with them annually.
I am sure many parents will agree with me when I use the cliche ''it is not easy bringing up children''. Many times the need arises for a ''trip home''. When this happens to us, I tend to go through each step of the way mentally beforehand so as to be prepared. But, however prepared I may be , it has sometimes happened that the children have done everything listed in Zeke Wigglesworth's list of horrors.
The writer has been quick to condemn parents in general. Each time that a fellow commuter has had to endure my children's antics, I have always apologised profusely. Judging by the treatment/ reaction I often received, I can fairly say that I have met with many understanding people.
