if you see a parent, especially a single parent, on a plane with a screaming child, you should have some sympathy.

it's hard enough traveling with kids, but then to get stares and comments is rubbing salt into a wound.

do you think they like being in that situation? wouldn't you think they would quiet the baby down if they could?!? have some compassion.

This doesn't explain why they didn't take the baby to the bathroom where they have a changing table specifically for this.
 
People on airplanes who have uncontrollable screaming babies should be put into the cargo hold.

The other passengers don't want to listen to that screaming baby...and should be allowed to use socks to stuff in the child's mouth to shut it up.
 
I've got it, they need something like this for planes:

I hear what you are saying, but those bathrooms are dirty as $hit and it's hard to keep a squirming baby in there.

When I change a diaper I don't get poop anywhere. In fact I dare bet that arm rest you have your hand on has more germs and crap from the dude who just took a dump or wiped his nose and didn't wash his hands properly than you'll get from the outside of a dirty diaper.
 
I don't get why people bring toddlers on a plane. DRIVE. At least you can pull over on the side of the road when it needs attention, on a plane you can't do anything and it drives everyone nuts not to mention yourself and adding unneeded frustration. And if it's overseas... who the hell goes on an overseas vacation with a toddler?

Lots of people. I was 2 years old (not quite a toddler) when my parents took me to China in the 1980s when they went there to teach.

Uh a 5 hour plane flight or 20 in a car...each way? Do the math on that one. My kid is less annoying to other people than the fat fucker in front of me snoring and has his seat reclined into your knees.

this happened to me on a 12 hour flight..three kids were at the front of the economy section, while i had the last seat in first class.

took them about 8 hours before they STFU and went to sleep.

You're endless rationalizations and arrogant and annoying sense of entitlement are irritating.

Take some time to grab a few paper towels and clean if you need to, it's what every other passenger has to do who also has to use those bathrooms for their intended purpose.

They don't decide to shit on the seat next to them, others don't decide to apply their jock itch ointment in the open cabin be-be-because the bathroom isn't clean enough for them, and YOU don't get to unwrap your squirming little bundle of poo in front of everyone else just because the ONLY PROPER ALTERNATIVE is inconvenient and challenging for you.

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.

I can't even tell if you are complaining or not here. Anyway I do have a job right at this moment and plan to get another in a bit. Either way first class is expensive even for those who have relatively good jobs.

Oh, sure, slip in a subtle brag about snagging a seat inside the plane! It gets cold in those wheel wells, and with the landing gear up, damn cramped. Do I even have to add that there's no movie or meal? :colbert:

But at least you rarely have to put up with crying, shitting babies and their obnoxious parents...That's gotta be worth a little inconvenience...

ive done the long haul economy many more times than i have in first.

i was flying a US carrier (delta) long haul intl' so first class wasnt pimped out private cabins, instead there was an (obviously not) soundproof ragged cloth dividing the first and economy cabins. basically all you get is a larger seat and thats it. food was not that great.

beggars cant be choosers though, as i didnt pay a fare but only taxes and flew standby for this trip. got first cabin three out of four legs, with both long legs in first.
 
Damn, there are far more pressing things to complain about than where a person changes a kid's diaper. Might be you one day, never say never.
 
Wow lotta aholes here; exactly why must I be subject to to the shitty parts of your decision to have kids?
