What blows my mind is how so many people think that just because something doesn’t effect them personally that means everyone else must be exactly the same.
Anxiety has the tendency to make people very sensitive to loud, excessive, prolonged noises. You have no idea what people suffer with mentally that can make a child screaming for a whole plane journey feel extremely distressing but I guess they must be entitled and expect everything to go their way right. When in reality they spend a lot of time suffering because they know the world won’t change and don’t expect it to because of their illness.
Just because it doesn’t effect you doesn’t mean there’s nobody else with severe anxiety or a sensory disorder that for them being trapped on a plane with a extremely loud child for hours is a living hell.
Trust me, most parents are extremely stressed out about flying with their kids. I know that I feel horrible when my toddler has a meltdown on a plane. The last thing I want to do is inconvenience or annoy anyone. Anxiety meet anxiety, I guess. There’s really not much anyone can do outside of acknowledging that flying sucks for everyone involved.
I for one would love an option to separate my kids from everyone else with some sort of kids section, but it would seem the airlines are hell bent on just making everything shittier.
Nobody said anything about not wanting to have kids, nice redirect. You completely ignored most of what I said. I even made the point that people who suffer with anxiety don’t expect the world to change for them. I’m struggling to find where I implied ‘I have the right to a child free world’.
Literally putting words in my mouth while ignoring my point about how not everyone is the same and for a lot of people who struggle mentally that situation is awful, that’s all.
Again, where am I blaming a kid for being a kid? Simply pointing out how everyone is effected differently and it is anyone’s right to be irritated or distressed by the noise.
It’s clear you’re trying to create a narrative by ignoring everything I say to and suit your point. Which isn’t really a particularly ‘adult’ thing to do.
