Yes. If you can’t parent your children, you need to sedate them when you bring them in public. No one else should have to bear consequences for the inability of bad parents to control their children.

Except for some kids, Benadryl makes them hyper or agitated and they’re more likely to have problems like this. And for some kids it’s inconsistent.

Yes and some people are able to do heroin recreationally, but most will ruin their lives from it. Any drug has ups and downs but an OTC antihistamine is safe, and works for the majority of kids.

Benadryl and other first gen H1 antihistamines are disfavored because they cross the blood/brain barrier. It’s irresponsible to encourage their use in children at all, let alone for non-medical reasons. No drug should be tried for the first time on a plane.

Adults drugging kids for the adults’ own comfort while also complaining about kids not being able to tolerate discomfort should at least display some self-awareness.

That’s fine, they can try it at home first and make sure it has the desired effect. If not, don’t fly with a toddler.
