Airplane People

I can really get in a lather over people who complain about babies on airplanes. It's a public place. Air travel is NOT a luxury these days. I am far more disturbed by the loudmouth who is YELLING their conversation into the phone before take off (there are no secrets we are just pretending not to hear you), or the loud talkers seated the row behind.

Also, no one feels worse about a crying baby than the parents who are trying, and trying everything to calm it down.

Years ago I was in a geology lecture in college, there was a woman with a baby in the class, and God love her for going on with her education while being a mom of a young one. She didn't have any help caring for the child and I often saw her with a notebook and baby in hand. One day the baby was fussing, I noticed it, we all did, but we kept on with the lecture. It was a bit distracting finally she chose to get up with her child and walked out of the lecture hall. The professor, who was the sweetest guy, stopped his lecture and said to the class, "did she leave? Oh no, please someone go and get her. She needs to be in class, the baby wasn't bothering me, was it bothering any of you? (No one was going to raise there hand to that)," "we were all babies once."

That is the truth.

Wow. Some of these comments are incredibly ignorant. You honestly expect a baby/child to barely make a sound during a flight, heaven forbid; cry! I'm sure if all of our lives were documented on film there would be parts where we are far less than the standards you have placed. Have some compassion! Here are some facts: kids cry, they scream occasionally too. THEY also have a RIGHT to be on a plane (you know, being human and all) so suck it up and get over it.

I HATE when people bitch and moan about how "annoying" kids are. It's so much worse to listen to.

Kids cry, throw them out the window.

kids cry get over it better than a drunk abusing people

Wow. She's kind of a cunt.

The guy should have yelled at her more. Sounds like he was actually being rather restrained.

You're lucky I wasn't on that plane, I would have cracked you one for being a stupid cunt and I probably would have shaken your baby for fun.

If your kids a nightmare then DON'T FLY WITH THEM!!! LEAVE THEM AT HOME!!! If leaving them isn't an option, then DON'T GO AT ALL. Hey, your kid, your problem. Don't make it ours. It's called "courtesy." coolmomdotcom??? pffff please...divorced and single no doubt. Sooo cool.

I hate kids yelling on planes, I yell at the parents. fuck em all

[CPVinish]

You dumb blonde, kids should be knocked out for an flight. I HATE kids who cry on a plane, parents MUST keep their kids quite the whole flight. My kids know to keep quite on a plane, they are VERY respectful and they are always quiet when they play.... they don't yell and run around the house. You TEACH your kid how to act!!!!
