    This is one of those things I see people complain about everyone complaining. Like vegans or CrossFit people. I've met far more people complaining about complaints than actual incidents.

    Most of us get it. It's kids. I've seen obviously not emotional support animals brought in by asshats. Kids aren't my concern.

      Kids these days (Yes, I said that unironically) can't be assed to deal with any amount of discomfort. They've had a childhood of screens put in front of them so they don't have to deal with boredom and other shit that just ruins a person's ability to operate in society.

      Grow the fuck up and deal with it.

      EDIT: So apparently people are reading this like I'm talking about the crying babies. I'm talking about the ridiculous, pseudo-child-free adults who can't believe a baby might have trouble while flying and god forbid they should hear it cry.

        Your lack of self awareness is astounding.

        You mean their brains have been wired from an early age to be addicted to short-form content and never tolerate moments with nothing happening because they were given unfettered access to the internet and the psychological manipulation from big corporations that comes with it?

        They're just supposed to grow up and deal with that? How?

          They’re just supposed to grow up and deal with that?

          Literally yes. I'm sure the process might be different for each person, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that people learn to deal with the world around them instead of expecting the world to bend to their complaints at every discomfort. It won't.

            Mental disorders relating to attention have skyrocketed in recent years, most likely due to the influence of social media on young minds. This shit is causing actual brain damage to these poor children because they don't know any better and their parents won't limit their screen time. You can't put that all on the kid.

              I am putting it on the adults complaining about crying kids on planes or whatever other little thing that gets under their skin.

                Oh, well that changes the meaning of your comments entirely. Damn pronouns, always causing ambiguity everywhere!

      I'm thankful that my kids fly well, and always have. We flew with them at ~15 months with no issues.

      I've always heard the complaints about screaming infants and whatnot...but I've never seen it. Granted, I don't fly too often (and less so more recently), but I've never had the "classic" kid crying through the entire flight. It just doesn't happen as often as people think. I'm sure when it does happen that it's pretty f'n annoying, though.
