Parents know how difficult it can be to keep their children on their best behavior while on a plane.
Kids get bored and don’t want to be stuck in a cramped space, so they do all sorts of things to keep themselves entertained.
But one woman has sparked a lengthy debate after she shared a video on TikTok to show fellow users how she reacted when a toddler started hitting her during a flight.
Kara Saba and her husband were flying from Detroit to Charleston when a toddler behind them started clutching her arm.
The little girl can be seen grabbing her arm and persistently rubbing her skin.
While she did not mind the adorable interruption, Kara filmed herself laughing as the toddler continued to grab her arm.
Her video has been vied over 18 million times and left people divided over her reaction.
She captioned the viral clip: “Her name was Adeline and I hope her mom sees this.”
TikTok users rushed to the comments section to express their thoughts, with one writing: “You guys have patience, I’d have whacked that hand away within seconds and she wouldn’t have done it again.”
Another said: “THANK YOU on behalf of mamas everywhere for being able to find the joy in a situation like this. The world needs more of y’all.”
A third said: “Touching strangers without their permission? Growing up to assault people. Ok.”
Someone else added: “You guys are cool people to just laugh it off. Glad it was you guys who sat there instead of a Karen or Kyle type people.”
