Hey there, readers! Today’s hot topic revolves around Anthony Bass, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays who recently stirred up a heated online debate. Bass took to social media to express his frustration after his pregnant wife was allegedly asked to clean up a popcorn mess made by their young child on a United Airlines flight. It’s important to note that the airline did provide the toddler with popcorn.
In his tweet, Bass criticized the flight attendant who reportedly made his wife get down on her hands and knees to clean up the mess. The tweet went viral and generated over 55 million views. Many social media users weighed in on the debate, with opinions split over who should be responsible for cleaning up messes made by children on flights.
Some commenters argued that parents should be responsible for cleaning up after their children, while others suggested that airlines should hire cleaning crews to handle these situations.
Genuinely curious who should clean up the mess your 2 year old made? As a parent of three kids I am the one responsible for them.

United Airlines also reached out to Bass on Twitter saying,
Hi there, Anthony. We certainly understand your concern and we’d like to look into this. When you have a moment, please DM your wife’s confirmation number along with any additional details regarding her interaction with this crew member. ^AN https://t.co/Y6hG6u3i8R

Though Bass’s tweet may have been blown out of proportion, it’s never fun to clean up after someone else’s mess, I believe that it’s ultimately the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their children are well-behaved and respectful of others. However, I also think that airlines have a role to play in creating a more comfortable and accommodating travel experience for families.
At the end of the day, parents and airlines need to take responsibility for creating a more positive and accommodating travel experience for families. While it’s important for parents to teach their children good manners and respect for others, airlines can also do their part to make travel less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.

The flight attendant @united just made my 22 week pregnant wife traveling with a 5 year old and 2 year old get on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn mess by my youngest daughter. Are you kidding me?!?! pic.twitter.com/vLYyLyJC54
