JFC, some of these responses here about people with children “should” do this or that. This is precisely why Reddit and most social media is cancer and people filled with 0 social and life skills.
Parents shouldn’t have to do anything. If you have an issue with a crying child, the onus is on you to find another space for yourself to make yourself comfortable instead of mandating what other people should/should not do.
Does that mean that parents should let their kids run around? Hell no. But this also means that you stop acting like another baby and find a way to adjust just like everyone else incl other parents.
Internet thinks that parents with children should stay home in shame and never leave the house.
Flights are not comfortable by design, people dont always donit for the fun. Sometime you really have to take a flight even if you dont want to. Parents too.
I’m of the opinion that parents deserve more of a break because they are technically paying more too, but that would ruffle some feathers here ;-)
FTFY. The problem with this argument is it's just as self-centered as the others. If your child starts crying or throwing a fit, go to the bathroom or something, soothe it, and come back. It's not that hard. If your child isn't poorly behaved, it won't cause any other problems. Don't let your child bother other people by being a nuissance. It's not on them it's not their child.
Case in point. Jfc again.
