Flight attendant claims moms do all the child wrangling while dads sit in a different row with no kids having time of their lives

I'm not questioning that moms do more with their kids at the airport/on planes…but I travel enough (heck most people travel enough) to think this person is being a bit hyperbolic.

She tries to weasel with the “not all dads” line.

I fly for work at least twice a month, and usually dads appear to be doing a lot of the kid stuff. They aren't just casually lounging on their own while moms do all the work.

I've seen this exact thing happen multiple times. Sometimes the men even sit in a different class.

Why yes, I do fly Emirates and Qatar Airways, how did you know?

I've literally never observed this once. I've never seen a dad in first class while people who are clearly his wife and kids are slumming it in coach.

I'm not saying this happens every time. But that's where I've seen it.

The first time I noticed it, a big group was travelling together and coach became burkha class. Now I'm more professional at nooooticing.
