It wasn’t her problem that they couldn’t plan ahead.
A woman who decided not to give up her first-class seat on a flight, even though she was traveling with a toddler, has gotten a lot of support on social media for her choice.
Dr. Sabra, who goes by @lifewithdrsabra on TikTok, shared her experience in a recent video.
She was asked to change her seat, 1A, to help another passenger.
In her video, Dr. Sabra added some text on the screen that said:
“From my point of view: The flight attendant asks me if I want to give up my seat 1A so a child can sit with their family.”
She had a big smile while sharing this message, showing she was happy to keep the seat she had paid for.
She even added a popular TikTok audio in the background where someone says, “Girl, forget those kids and forget you too.”
This clip is often used in videos where people refuse to give up something for someone else’s children.
The 1A seat, usually found in first class at the front of the plane, is a very desirable spot for travelers.
Dr. Sabra shared more details in the caption of her video.
She said she chose to keep her seat and that the family was able to “find a solution” to their seating problem without her having to move.
In her caption, she wrote: “That’s a no from me, would you have given up your seat?
“Plus, they found a solution, so I’m not a terrible person. Also, the child was about 13.”
The video has gone viral, getting 4.9 million views, and many viewers are supporting her choice in the comments.
Wish list written by a foster child in Oklahoma
Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization devoted to reform of abused children. According to their website, their main goal is to “educate the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery.”
Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.
Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the boy’s home and decided to alert social services.
Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the Dreamcatchers for Abused Children organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.
Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.
Needless to say, the list melted many people’s hearts. Many took their time to comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.
This is the list:
“Things I want in my family:
I want food and water.
Don’t hit on me.
A house with running water and lights.
I want love.
Mom and dad don’t fight.
I want no drugs.
Don’t kill my pets.
Help with school.
Nice clean clothes.
No lice. No bug in house.
Clean house.
Clean bed with covers.
Don’t sell my toys.
Treated fair.
Don’t get drunk.
Tv in house.
Let me keep my school stuff.
Nice shoes.
My own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
Toothbrush.”
This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.
