I'm not a screaming infant anymore. And I chose not to reproduce because I didn't want to deal with screaming children. Not wanting to listen to someone else's screaming/crying children in an enclosed space you can't get away from them in isn't being a douche its expecting common courtesy and a pleasant experience everyone has pain potentially a lot of money for.

Tbh taking your baby on a trip is a giant waste of money. They aren't going to enjoy/remember it. And if you bring them on a plane they will have no clue what's going on, be stressed, and annoy everyone else

Exactly! All these parents and self absorbed people trying to come after me for my comment because they think they should be catered to or bent over backwards for because they popped out a kid is laughable. It's not a good experience for the kid and it's not a good experience for other passengers who had no input on the kid being there.

Why are all of you assuming people are going on vacation? People travel for all sorts of reasons.

[–] jcit878@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

people travel for reasons other than just taking holidays too...

Why isn't this infant baby showing common courtesy? My God does this infant have no shame?

Fucking lol

Don't be stupid. It's on the parents not the infant. Nobody cares if the infant cries some, or if they do they aren't worth talking to. The point is if you know you can't control your child or have no way to handle them on a plane, you have no business bringing them and you should've driven. Simple as that.

Why are you under the assumption all parents who travel are doing so for leisure?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Cause they would pick other options than the plane if it wasn't.
