A baseball star has taken to social media to vent his frustrations after his pregnant wife was told to clean up the mess made by their toddler on a flight.
Anthony Bass, who plays for the Toronto Blue Jays, was travelling with his family on a United Airlines flight when an attendant spotted a mess on the floor, reports the Mirror.
Their two toddler daughters had spilled popcorn on the floor, and Bass' 22-week-old pregnant wife was forced to get on her knees and clean up the mess.

The Blue Jays star took to social media to express his anger, and got involved in a debate on Twitter with the customer service team at United Airlines.
The post seems to backfired on Anthony, as many people are siding with the decision of the flight attendant.
He tweeted: "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?!?!"
United Airlines responded within minutes, as they replied: "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."
However, fans have not reacted well with his Twitter complaint, and backed the United Airlines crew for making them clear up the mess themselves.
One noted: "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."
Another replied: "The flight attendant was making sure the next passengers had a tidy seating area for their flight. But Karen thinks they should get down on their hands and knees to clean up after everyone’s kids or get fired."
A third fan replied: "I have three kids, just flew coach 12 hours, and was able to clean up after them — for every mess. It’s called parenting. Do you expect park janitors to clean up after your pet? No; Your child, your responsibility."
Bass proceeded to respond to some of the comments, arguing his case about being concerned for the well-being of his wife.
But after this died down, Bass took to Twitter again and said: "Thank you everyone for the support, United Airlines is taking care of matters with the flight attendant internally."
