As a flight attendant for a major airline, you are wrong about not having to be able to carry an extra bag on board (having a large bag for small child) If you are bringing it on board you need to be able to carry it and stow it. You cannot expect airline employees ie flight attendants to help you. The airline has cut our pay by 1/3 and since we're not suppose to lift bags if we get injured helping you, we're on our own. The airline will not pay us for an on the job injury. We are not required to help you.
Many times we would like to help you, but because of how we are treated by our company prevents us from doing that. Unless you're disabled if you can't carry it, and stow it, then you either make two trips, down a long concourse against a the flow of boarding passengers leaving your childing by himself, or you check the bag.

Dear Flight Attendant Ann,

You are one of the problems with the airline industry as it is. If you don't like to be in the customer service industry, find another job. Maybe if you put more into what you do , your company would do better and you will benefit from the success. They should let you all go and throw a couple trained seals on the plane.
