Airlines have banned tablets from certain flights and parents on the internet are FREAKING OUT

What the hell are we supposed to do now?

That was the reaction of many parents who took to social media to outline hilariously how the new electronic device ban on some flights would affect their lives.

This week it was announced that laptops, tablets and other large electronics will be banned in the cabin on flights from some countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

Anyone with children will know that handing them an Ipad or similar will guarantee you a good chunk of time of reasonable peace and quiet.

But now parents will have to come up with new and inventive ways to occupy children on these flights due to security threats.

One parent took to Twitter to say that:

“Making kids sit through a 14-hour flight with no screens to distract is a form of terrorism.”

And we don’t disagree!

What about some good old-fashioned pen and paper activities like drawing and reading?

Ahahhhahhah (*laughs manically)
