adults need more distress tolerance. traveling is stressful and there’s no getting around it

All comes down to parents approach IMO. If the parent attempts to soothe the child (regardless of success), fine. But if they decide to let the kid cry it out, ignore it, or just give up, then yeah a little bit shitty. Kids do cry, but effort should be made to calm them in public.

Some people can't accept the reality that babies being annoying is just a fact of life

Caveat that they usually cry on planes because it hurts and parents should be giving their kids Tylenol or other pain meds when safe before plane rides. It’s not even about the noise it’s just like sad that a child is in pain, my sister had sensitive ears so we were prepped with Tylenol and earplugs and gum and distractions and everything to try and help her out a bit.

I hate when people think kids cry because of bad parenting or act like kids are going to act that way into adulthood if parents let them be upset over things that seem silly to us. A kid I babysat cried because his brother got to the kitchen before him. That was it. There wasn't even a race. He was just upset he wasn't first.

Parents doing nothing sucks, but crying the whole time can be because it hurts literally the whole time and the kid needs pain relief and distraction

I mean yeah kids talk that’s how you know when it hurts, I don’t think having words stops the physical and emotional reaction of crying. I have chronic pain and know the source of my pain during flares and that it’s gonna go away when my rescue meds kick in but I still bawl my eyes out until the pain goes down a bit because that’s part of how my body and I react to feeling intense pain. Thankfully I’m not stuck in public on an airplane with less autonomy and understanding like a kid is.
