    I used to think that way until I had my own baby. I understand the parents a lot more now. We don’t bring our babies in flights/places to annoy anyone (some parents might do it, Idk :v). It’s a complicated situation where we want to stay with our loved ones and at the same time don’t be yelled by strangers who can’t handle baby noises, trust us, we try to calm them down, if we could, babies wouldn’t annoy so much, but they kinda have a mind of it’s own 🙂 (stubbornness at its peak) I don’t expect anything to change, specially in the terms lf having patience with strangers, but… idk :v

      I think perhaps you misunderstand. Most people don’t think parents bring their kids along to deliberately disrupt travel. At least, I certainly hope that’s not what people think.

      But, intent is irrelevant. It doesn’t stop it being annoying for some/many people.

      As for the picture here. I suspect the reason more people are looking this way than usual. It looks to be a business class cabin. I know many people book business class because it more likely puts you at some distance from the noisier cabins. This looks like they probably have a dedicated business class boarding door. So they likely realise they’re coming to sit in the same cabin.

      If you book in economy, you’re used to and expect it more, I think.

        The main point here was: parents wants their children to be quiet as much as strangers do

          Yes, and I’m agreeing with you. But the animosity is a general illogical (but human) thinking of “Why did you bring them on MY flight?”

          Like I say, when people reflect, they’re not angry at the people, they’re angry at the situation they’re in. At least, I hope that’s what normal people are doing.

      just stay home then

      you chose to have children, in this day and age where all they’ll ever know is suffering and pain

      so don’t make everyone else’s life worse because you just had to creampie someone.

        Believe it or not, we’re not all despondent nihilists, hell bent on self fulfilling prophecies of negligent apocalypse incapable of empathy and compassion for those who still gently carry that same flame that brought us all here, not yet lulled like so many into a dark shroud of self doubt and loathing by gluttonous corporations who grow fat on the grief and despair of those who are content to take what is given and slip through life soundless and meak, refusing to create change, however individual, however small, so sure that three hundred thousand years of humanity is unquestionably doomed to the darkness you choose to wallow in.

        Some of us want to fight and we love our kids (and yours) and this world, and yes, we even love you nihilists, and we’ll fight for you too.

          I’m one of those nihilists but it doesn’t mean I’m apathetic, it just means I’d rather help other people survive this shit than add another number to the count.

          Also damn, are you the reincarnation of Hemingway or something? here I am checking out lemmy and you wrote a full on award winning post.

      here’s a solution:

      don’t take planes for a few years until the child doesn’t cry for no reason anymore
