Carry ons should be put in the overhead bin or tuck under your seat.

If you carry your baby onto the plane, be kind to your fellow passengers and put it in the bin.

I'm gonna be unapologetically that person one day. Get into a tube full of stinky humans and complain that babies exist in the world. People need to get over themselves.

How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.

I don't get the rage that some of these comments have from seeing this meme.

It doesn't say that anyone actually did or said anything, just that their expression dropped after seeing an infant board a plane.

People are allowed to be disappointed. I mean, I don't think that most parents actually love hearing screaming and/or crying either. Is a (probably) brief facial expression seriously the same as hating all children, or wishing for them to dissapear to some of you guys? Jeez Louise.

I mean, normally I wouldn't give a hoot either way. Kids on the plane, no kids on the plane, whatever. If I had a migraine that day though, yeah, I wouldn't be thrilled. I wouldn't be upset at anyone for the noise in the slightest, but I also wouldn't be joyful about it.

Are we certain that that's the actual contect of the picture, or did someone just say it was? Is this the accurate, OG text on the picture? Did any one of those people actually say or do anything beyond a facial expression when seeing very small children board the plane?

Some of you guys need to take a deep breath and just relax. I'm referring to both extremes with this.

I had a man in his 60s tell me "if you board a flight without noise canceling headphones in 2023, that's on you."

We were flying to Italy (from US) with our 5 month old to visit my Aunt one last time before she passed away a few months later. Baby cried here and there for a total of maybe 1.5 out of the 9 hours. We felt so guilty but people were incredibly nice at the end when we apologized for disturbing their flight.

She's a pretty good flyer overall but will throw her occasional 5 minute fits. I think about that man's joke after working our asses off to calm her down.

If pets can travel in the cargo hold hopped up on benzos and ketamine, why can't babies? Or me?

This is one of those things I see people complain about everyone complaining. Like vegans or CrossFit people. I've met far more people complaining about complaints than actual incidents.

Most of us get it. It's kids. I've seen obviously not emotional support animals brought in by asshats. Kids aren't my concern.

Seems that everyone forgets they were kids once . I mean, we were not born adults and intolerant, right?...

Maybe it's different in the USA, but I've travelled a lot and don't think I ever remember a long haul flight without multiple babies and young children. It's just a fact of travelling.

I recently did a 16hr flight solo and the other 3 seats in my row of 4 were parents and a toddler.

That's just part of flying and you should plan for it (noise cancelling headphones, sleeping tablets, ear plugs).

I don't think hours of noise canceling headphones are a realistic solution for everyone, like people with autism or sensitive ears.

What we should have is a "children's section" in the back of the plane. If your party only contains adults, then you can only book in the adult section until it's filled, and same with parties that have kids. Parents don't want to disrupt everyone, but imagine this on a longer bus or train ride!

In this picture:

1 cute baby

1 caring parent taking his kids on a trip

And a bunch of entitled douchenoozles, not understanding that THEY used to be screaming babies too!

Edit: The replies to this are wild lol this platform really is just single dudes circle jerking. If you really have no compassion for the parent in this picture, you need to take a deep look at yourself.

This ass taking weird selfies in his first class seat looks so entitled

Spends hundreds of euros on a flight. Cant buy a noise cancelling heqdphone or earphone. I kinda assume a babys gonna cry when i fly because 200 people closed in an aluminium cylinder together isnt the most pleasant experience.

Why not make an airline for people with kids and then they could deck the inside of the plane out to make it fun for kids complete with a flying tube sized playground, maybe a mini arcade, and definitely a ball pit. The pilots could even be those creepy ass animatronic creatures from Chuck-E-Cheese.

I have a dysfunctional baby. We took an 8 month old on a plane to Japan because of a family tragedy and she freaking got excited when we hit turbulence and when we landed. Five other babies lost their shit but my kids all giggling.

Actually, she also lost her shit in a literal way, Jesus fucking Christ the amount of poop that came out after the pressure change or someone. Ain't nobody talks about that but all babies shit their pants at landing--- pretty sure.

This thread is goddamned train wreck. If you need to fly with young children, buy a big bag of those el cheapo foam ear plugs and pass them out to whomever wants some.

I don't have kids, and I have sensory issues that make baby crying noises physically painful, but I get it. Sometimes you need to take your tiny human places, and I just have to deal. It's a part of life.

If you're going to travel, use ANC headphones instead of complaining about people's children.

Repulsion at the thought of sharing space with the most vulnerable humans literally unable to communicate or control their emotions is a sign of a deeply sick society

If you unable or unwilling to take care of your child to keep them from making a scene and bothering people your child has no business being on a plane.
