Changing a toddler's diaper on the airliner's seat!!!!

[WelshBloke]

Can't help it, because these are the same people that will cut you off in traffic, talk on their phone in the theater, won't hold a door open for someone, will back up traffic for ten minutes waiting for a parking spot, will pick up a box of spiral macaroni and cheese and put it right in front of the regular mac and cheese so the next guy grabs the wrong kind, won't flush a toilet, won't pick up the paper towel they dropped on the floor next to the trash...and on and on and on.

Lol. Go take up meditation or start smoking dope or something. None of that shit matters just chill out and let it go. You start getting worked up about it you'll just be angry and inconvenienced rather than just inconvenienced.

You're a parent and don't know this? The average age of potty training is around 2.5 years (29 months for girls, 31 for boys). There seem to be a lot of "parents" in this thread that are pretty oblivious about babies in general and what's involved with changing diapers on a plane in particular.

Jeezus...BOTH of my kids were potty trained by 18 months...

Better them in diapers on the plane than me sitting in a soggy seat. D:

Number1 - calm down - the vast majority of the time when you change a diaper - nothing from 'inside' the diaper makes its way outside of the diaper - so there is little to no risk of your precious body coming into contact with any baby fecal matter.

When a baby takes a crap, you are going to smell it, regardless of where the baby's diaper is changed

Get used to it pretty boy if you are going to travel more.

Fecal matter isn't the only concern. In my time, I've seen a few baby boys decide to urinate while being changed.

You could drive and not be subjected to that abuse.

similar to another thread - if you don't have kids of your own - STFU

if you want to avoid kids on planes - drive yourself - just like you said they should drive - maybe you should be the one driving, not subjecting people to your 'i'm a princess' bullshit

Or you can go fuck yourself. Your kids means your inconvenience, not mine. Don't be surprised if someone gets in your face by pulling WT bullshit like that.

Where do all these me, me, me assholes come from?

LOL do you even read what you type? Seriously most parents hate having to take kids on planes and do everything they can to console them. But it's a necessary evil required to get to the other side of the country to see a dead or dying parent or grandparent or a vacation without burning 4 days of your 7 in a car making a 20+ hour drive each way.

I don't bring my kids on a plane because I like to. I don't do it because I know it annoys the ever living fuck out of people like you(although it warms the cockles of my heart that it does). I do it because it's the quickest form of personal conveyance which is the same reason you are doing it. Flying sucks. Period. From the ass raping parking fees to security checkpoints to $3 bottles of water after they confiacate yours to the pushy pricks forcing their way on and off the plane while boarding and deboarding to the ever dwindling "service" you receive in flight. If a family trying manage a kid is what puts you over the edge then yes, please drive. If you ever manage to have a family just know that the family on the plane could be your kids and grandkids trying to come and see you on your deathbead.

One of my uncles is like this. World revolve around him, you don't exist. And if you were to confront him about something like this he'd make it sound like you were the one being a huge ass hole. The truth is he isn't even aware that he's like this and even get's embarrassed when people get upset at him and get's angry back (it doesn't seem like embarrassment but it is).

I agree with you but still disagree that this means you get to change your kids diaper on the seat next to me. Even if the changing table in the bathroom is too small you can put the toilet seat down and do it there. It's just common sense courtesy to the other passengers on the plane to do it in the washroom. I'm not asking you to stop your kid from screaming, that I know you can't do anything about.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

babies don't come with instructions and I for one wouldn't assume a bathroom in an airplane would have a changing table.

when you become a parent, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I disagree, as a parent of two small children, I would have at least looked before doing it publicly

 

[halik]

LOL do you even read what you type? Me, me, my vacation, my time, life's hard

Long winded excuse for why the notions of common sense and decent are alien to me. Air travel is expensive therefore everyone needs to smell my kids' shit.

fixed

 

[Pulsar]

Ya screaming kid is one thing. If they're doing just a bit on landing or whatever that's kinda just how it works and everyone should deal with it. If they scream the entire flight then the kid or your parenting is probably just a piece of shit. But changing a diaper on a seat is a willful act of negligence for the consideration of others. F that shit and F you for being a shitty douchebag parent and traveler.

You, sir, are not a parent. If I am wrong and you ARE a parent, I sincerely hope your children end up better than you.

Perhaps you should suggest to that parent what is wrong with their parenting method and what would quickly make the child be quiet. Do tell - all the parents who have children are waiting.

I can understand why the child wasn't changed in the rest-room. They are incredibly unsanitary, and the changing stations are filthy. While it may inconvenience passengers to smell poop for a minute or two, putting a child's life at risk isn't worth it. I would surmise that you have never taken a microbiology course or worked closely with doctors or nurses either. To sum it up, you're a troll.

yeah with all those babies getting sick or dying inflight or shortly after from unclean restrooms, parents have every right to change the shitty diapers in front of everyone. Everyone else needs to take a backseat to ME and my baby because I didn't bring sanitation wipes and can't be bothered or "inconvenienced" to clean the changing table.
Won't anyone think of the children!!!!!
Seriously, parents need to take responsibility for their children. If they think the bathroom is going to be dirty then bring along wipes to clean it. But I guess being rude and inconsiderate is okay since these parents won't see the people on the plane ever again.

You are a world class narcissistic asshole.

Did you ever stop to think that the parent might have more than just one child, and that leaving another little one behind to change a child in the bathroom is an even worse solution than changing the child on the seat?

i was in a restaurant eating and the family next to me decided to change their baby on the table right there...while i was eating. Now if theres some kind of parent right activist out there telling me that is ok, you are seriously fvked in the head

Using a tabletop in a restaurant isn't appropriate except in extreme cases (and lack of a changing table doesn't count). If there were two parents, they could have done the two-person standing up diaper change, my wife and I have done that frequently. But in the cramped confines of an aircraft, there's often really no good place to be able to change a diaper. Most people can barely fit in an aircraft lavatory by themselves, much less trying to change a child's diaper in one.

 

[Lumathix]

There isn't enough room in the bathroom. With the turbulence, the fact that everything in there is disgusting and wet b/c you missed the toilet when taking a piss doesn't help either.

For all you people that bitch and moan about kids at the airport and on planes, just put your GD headphones on, stare at your iPad, and be glad it isn't you that has to take these kids on a day from hell you self centered POSes!!

gotta be a troll....yeh, i'm assuming you're a troll. Nice one.

 

[Powermoloch]

this thread is filled with baby batter poopoo

 

[Newbian]

What a shitty thread.

 

[freegeeks]

Stopped reading here. STFU. If you are in first class, even if your company is paying for it, you have no reason to complain about anything. Try being in economy for a 16hr flight wedged between a screaming baby and a 400lb morbidly obese fart machine. You are right next to the toilet. The TV in your section isn't working so you get no movie. They are all out of the good meals when they get to you so all you get is reconstituted instant mashed potatoes the consistency of sand and the taste of wall paste. You have to spend 2 extra hours at a layover destination because of problems with the engine. And when you get to London your bags have just arrived in Moscow.

sounds like American Airlines, the ghetto airline

 

[marmasatt]

I should just stay out of this thread, there is way too much vitriol. But what I'm seeing is alot of internet bravado here. And alot of immaturity and ignorance. Any of you twenty something, recent college grads (yeah I'm stereotyping) who believe the world revolves around you still, will wake up some day. Yeah, what the guy did was rude. But the lack of empathy here is astounding. They guy may already be horrified at what was a terrible gamble, decision-wise for he and his family. Maybe he said F it, these people already hate me and decided to do it, lol. There is just way too much judgment here and no reasoning from people who appear NOT to have children. And those of you who only see the world in ways in how it specifically impacts you need to grow up.

That's clearly not what we're discussing. And also, yes. That is very bad. I may even venture to say indefensible.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Why did you not throw the parent and baby off the plane? They are both aerodynamic.

 

[Glitchny]

Since when have airline seats been considered clean? Pretty sure they are unsanitary as well.

 

[slag]

So much entitlement mentality from parents these days...

I don't need your kid to be silent the whole trip, but I also shouldn't be subjected to the sight and smell of their shit.

I was going to say the same thing, but the other way around.

The entitlment from other people these days that nothing should offend them is just appalling. I'm sorry you had to smell my son's shit, but thats just a fact of life, much like I have to look at your sweaty overweight body sitting next to me scowling the entire trip. You aren't a princess, sorry I had to piss in your cheerios. On a 4 hour flight, yeah, I'm going to put my 2 yr old (when I had one), in a pullup, not a diaper, not underwear, but a pullup because he might not be ready yet with all the new sights and sounds of an airplane to remember to let me know he needs to go pee pee or poo poo. If he shits himself and there is a line to get in the restroom, I'm not going to make him sit in it. So even through it grosses me out also, I'm going to weigh my choices and take care of the situation. If you aren't mature enough to realize what I'm doing isnt my cup of tea either, then your opinion really doesn't matter and thats that.
