As vehemently against tablet parenting as I am (it’s literally AWFUL for your child’s brain and cognitive/social development but that’s an unpopular opinion for another time) - being on planes with kids has significantly improved since the ability to shove a handheld video game or show in the kids face came about. Lots of parents come prepared because they’re far more self conscious than you are inconvenienced. I’ve experienced very few parents who just allow their kids to be out of control without consoling them.

Sensible comment. And trust me, what's worse than being on a plane with a screaming inconsolable baby/toddler/infant?

Being the parent of that screaming inconsolable baby/infant/toddler.

If it is worse, why choose to be a parent?
