Single moms travel

Strollers, luggage, tickets, boarding passes, gates, terminals, maybe even a diaper bag and baby seat. Good grief, how do you travel with children?

It's tough to do single parenting in the airport and on the plane. I once saw a woman with 7, yes 7 children, on an airplane. She was African and seemed not to worry about her children. She wasn't worried because they were Behaving relatively well. That is until near the end fot he flight. They just couldn't take it anymore. The oldest couldn't have been 10 years old, by the way.

She held the youngest in the aisle, soothing her tears, barked out a couple of commands (is that what Swahili sounds like?) and managed the troops with words and love. I was so amazed I gave her $40. I don't know why I did that. When I gave it to her, she looked at me like I was crazy. I didn't know how else to show my amazement.
