Hot Takes on Sidechat | This is stupid. Kids cry. Especially on air planes. The pressure hurts their ears, It’s not their fault. Parents have to travel too. It’s way easier for u to pop some headphones in. No one wants to bring a screaming child with them and you’re not entitled

If you bring a screaming/crying child onto transport such as a plane or train and are unable to keep them quiet, you should have to pay an extra fee upon arrival at the destination. Nobody else should have to suffer for you being a shit parent.

I understand kids cry, but I don’t understand kids that cry for extended periods of time. Especially if they’re kids that are a little older. I understand babies, that’s just a rough situation for everyone, but I had like an older kid that was bawling his eyes out and the parents did nothing.

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.

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.
