Don't be overdramatic. You're allowed to travel but you've gotta accept that no one's happy to see you.

Well good, I accepted that long before I ever had kids!

The only people I'm not happy to see are insufferable r/childfree redditors who hate on literal children. If you hate babies there is something wrong with your brain.

I like kids, I don't like sitting in a small metal box with the unavoidable sound of crying for hours though. Flying sucks enough as it is.

I'm glad you're speaking up. This isn't a black and white situation. Sometimes I'd travel by plane to a surgery or from one, was already in a lot of pain and sensitive and having a child scream through it all gave me panic attacks. When I'm on my best, I don't mind but I'm disheartened by the absolute disregard people attacking those who speak up against children on planes have towards people with misophonia, whatever it may be induced by. Idk where those people get noise canceling earphones and earplugs to have the noise of children screaming non stop next to you be blocked by them.
