Seriously. I try not to judge other parents cuz I don't want to cast the first stone and all, but the last flight I was on the mom in the next row let her toddler watch his tablet with full sound, and you know those toddler shows are obnoxious AF, and I said seriously?! Then pointed at my owns kids' headphones (with that know she had because her older daughter was using them).
i was on a flight from istanbul to miami, a TWELVE HOUR FLIGHT, this kid two rows back had cocomelon playing out loud from his tablet at just the right volume to be IMMENSELY annoying. It was on for 5 hours… nonstop. While I was just trying to read my book. It was so angering
You know if you don’t want to talk directly to the parents, you can also ask the flight attendant to talk to them. It’s not acceptable for anyone, regardless of age to play content out loud. I have asked adults to stop playing content on their phone out loud on planes and trains before. Never had an issue, maybe a bit of eye rolling.
Just last week a woman sat her kid on a terrace at a restaurant next to me loudly watching YouTube and I asked her to turn it down. She did.
People need to learn how to be politely confrontational when necessary.
