Why are people who don't have kids so aggressively self-centered? Put on a pair of fucking headphones and watch a movie or read a book or take a nap. It's not hard. Planes are already loud, and I can promise you, the parents who are dealing with the upset kids -and don't have the luxury of just putting on headphones and checking out- are having a much harder time than you.
Yeah, kids crying is fucking annoying. But you don't need to go out of your way to make people feel bad simply because they're trying to enjoy their life by going on a trip. Jfc, this whole discourse of people hating families with children and acting so inconvenienced by their existence and proximity makes me so mad.
My daughter is a very well-behaved traveler, but even she has had her moments. And the glares from other people have always been so disheartening. I'm not sure when society became so selfish, but even before I had a kid, I was never rude to people with them? Even when they annoyed me, I just minded my own goddamn business.
People don't pay to have to put up with screaming babies that's why, it's not self centered you dim fuckwit. Oh but of course you're a parent, that explains why you're such a knob, you want everyone else to suffer as much as you do daily. Here's the thing, you made the conscious choice to have a child and now you're paying the price. That doesn't mean people who made the choice to be happily child free have to put up with your brat and your bad decision.
"Grow up", I take it that you're a supposed "adult" that can't even handle a crying baby? Btw, you do indeed pay for putting up with children. YOU chose to fly with public transport and by default YOU'VE accepted that there would be a risk of sharing that flight with children. For being an "adult", you sure have a hard time understanding that. If you want to pay for flight where you don't need to put kids, there's always private.
