More than a couple of times my youngest son fell asleep in my arms. He was 6 years old and kind of heavy. I got on the bus for the trip back to the hotel and had to stand the entire way. Not once but maybe three times this happened.
OMG the look... my dad was a cop, he had THE LOOK!
my DW had the "look" down better than I.
Now that I think about it, I get that "look" sometimes myself.
At Disney its not so cut and dry , why should someone who got to the bus stop and waited 20 minutes for the bus give up their seat for someone who come running up at the last second? And holding kids , its their own fault should not have kept them out so long or wake them up, no way i would have held a 6 year old I would have woke her up and told her to stand, sorry but I think the only people you should give up seats to are the elderly or handicap, they can;t help being elderly or handicap, people can help running up at the the last second with a sleeping kid.
But also... children can't help that their parents kept them out past their capacity to stay awake. I definitely see both sides to this, but just to add my thoughts to yours, a child can't help being a tired child, either. More on the topic of pet peeves at Disney since we're talking about buses... I once had a mom sit down next to me with her (easily) 5- or 6-year-old son and he wasn't asleep, just obviously drowsy... well his legs were so long that they hung over both sides of her lap (I guess she'd never heard of sitting him straight?) and one of his feet was actually shoved pretty firmly into my thigh. I looked at the mom and gave her a look of "ummm hello?" but she didn't readjust her son. People need to understand that I don't care how cute you think your child is, you need to realize that there are other people out there besides your child, and you can't just let your child do whatever they want!
People do this all the time, I am a closer, I see this pattern everyday. And the bottom line folks just try to wring out every minute out of everyday to get the most for their money and out of the vacation. I don't think they get up in the morning with a plan to stay out till their knuckles drag it just happens. But I have seen a lot of courtesy on the bus and I've seen it go the other way as well. Human nature? Back when I was a guest I had my share of late nights knowing this is going to end and I have to go home to work again. The time goes by in a flash.
Really? This is your argument.
