Sorry you fly coach. I sometimes wonder about the trash back there in the back.

Unfortunately, first class is no guarantee against ill-mannered children. As long as the parent is trying and the kid is toddler age or below, that’s just life. I’ll try to make a funny face or give the parent an “it’s cool, kids are hard” look if it will help.
Once you get to the 6 year old who runs into other passengers while the mom whines an interminable countdown, then I get all, “you need to control your kid.”
Had a mom nearly lose her shite when I asked her son not to touch me. She actually asked me not to talk to her son- who just ran into me while disobeying her. I responded with a lecture about invisible disabilities (things like brittle bone disease and arthritis), liability for the actions of children, and how an individual in America has a god-given right to stop a battery. Got high-fived by an older black gentleman when we boarded. Upon exiting the flight, got a special thank you from the very overwrought flight attendant who had to deal with the little shite.

But when others’s kids cry, I don’t let it bother me, because I know they are trying to stop it and likely feel bad about it.

Ha! If only that were true.

Some dude farting is WAY Worse.

Unless I'm the one doing the farting. Then it's just funny.

You're bitching about a 2 hour flight?

Definitely the fatty. I would have said screaming kids but now that I have two, I can handle the uncontrollable crying because it’s gonna be like that some days. Had to sit next to a smelly swamp beast of a woman on a flight to Seattle for work. Give me a crying kid any day over that. Noise canceling headphones were invented for this reason. Can’t cancel out BO and fat rolls

Downvote because you have no idea what it’s like to have kids.

This is the type of thing parents say when they are so out of shape that instead of spending time with their kids all that they can do is throw them an iPad and breath heavily.

There is absolutely no reason to travel with an infant.

Yeah, okay.

I don’t let crying kids get to me on flights; they are crying because they’re experiencing discomfort from the pressure change. If I sit in a row with parents and a kid, I tell them not to worry and they seem very relieved. Parents dread the crying more than you do, I guarantee, because they feel responsible. A set of foam earplugs or noise cancelling headphones do the trick.

The snowflakes who melt over babies crying would have loved the days when people could smoke on flights.

I use to love the window seat but people wanting to look out the window or asking me to open/close the window just became a bother. Plus I like the aisle because I can spread my feet into the aisle when no one is coming.

He is young and dumb, if not I feel sorry for him and his family

Nope 27

I can tell you I won’t be bringing our infant child on airplane. Just totally irresponsible honestly.

Same people wonder why their child gets sick a week later
