Carry ons should be put in the overhead bin or tuck under your seat.

If you carry your baby onto the plane, be kind to your fellow passengers and put it in the bin.

Okay, I’m gonna bite the bullet and say it. This is disheartening. I’m not one to clutch pearls, but come on. Would you say this about anyone else? Dogs? Cats? Anything at all? Do you understand how fucked up it is? I just don’t get it. It was the same in Reddit, and it’s fucking same in here. Why do you hate children? You don’t wanna have them, that’s fine. Why would you say these things?

Maybe you’re joking. Even after assuming that you are, this is in poor taste and a fucked up thing to say.

U don't hate children but what i hate is that one child with shitty parents will ruin the entire flight for everyone else.

Do shitty parents and upset children exist? Absolutely.

Yet everyone seems to ignore that maybe, just maybe, that child is being “shitty” despite having good parents.

Maybe the kid has a medical issue causing pain and discomfort and there’s not a damn thing the parent can do except get on that flight to see a specialist.

Maybe she’s fleeing domestic violence and needs to get to family to safe.

Maybe the mother has postpartum depression and unfortunately cannot properly care for her child so she’s seeking help elsewhere.

Fuck maybe the kid has an undiagnosed brain tumour that’s going to kill them. I know people that happened to.

If you go around assuming everyone else who inconveniences you in the slightest is a shit person, you will be a shit person.

So get over yourself. You might have a slightly less comfortable flight while that poor parent might be going through the worst time in their life.

See, here’s the neat thing about things. You get to choose what you do and don’t care about. Empathy should not go so far as to cost. Your baby is not my problem and it’s your responsibility to keep it that way. I have my own, I didn’t take them to public places till they were able to have some self control. Is that always possible? No, but it’s really obvious if you are the type of person who doesn’t even try.

Part of using public transport is that you need to share it with the public, which is why I broadly detest it and cannot comprehend the fuck cars weirdos.

That said when I do use public transport I fully expect noisy children, insufferable karens and the occasional nut job.

Your concept of empathy seems to be severely lacking.
