Well kinda said I wasn't looking to rant about this part, but okay:
When the child is two seats over, my loops are not helping. When another child is running up and down the aisle every 20 mins, ear plugs aren't the solution either.
I simply would not choose a flight where the majority of people would be trying to sleep if I were a parent. I would not want to put myself in a situation where it could even happen, no one wants to be mortified and on a long flight it approaches certainty.
A screaming child on a 4h middle-of-the-day flight is annoying but bearable. Screaming children on a double-digit hour overnight flight ruins many people's days.
Some people have families in far away countries. I hate to say it dude, but it's just one of those things.
No one enjoys screaming children in an enclosed space, especially not parents who already have to deal with child nonsense on a daily basis.
Maybe you don't see it, but these situations are really distressing for parents and it would serve humanity well if we could have a little empathy for them.
This is the part that I always find mind boggling. Yeah, parents who don’t parent exist, but the vast majority want the screaming to stop just as much as anybody else, if not more…
I don’t mean this as a criticism, but I’m guessing you don’t have kids. I used to get annoyed whenever I ended up sitting next to infants on flights, but now I only get annoyed when said infants/toddlers are going wild and the parents are totally checked out.
If the parents are trying to calm their kids and it’s not working, I have nothing but sympathy for them.
It is a good thing you were never a kid annoying everyone around you. That would be embarrassing for you.
Alot of people were spanked for ANY public outburst. So yeah theres a good chance they never been THAT child.
