Screaming kids are easy to ignore on most flights but I recently had one on a 14.5+ hour flight (Asia to US). Screamed 10-20 mins every 1 to 2 hours. I got 2 hours of sleep and felt as if I had the flu.

One thing I will say about lemmy is y'all take shit way too seriously. It's a meme. A relatable one at that. Getting annoyed by children is normal and it's not like anyone's actively trying to get rid of your kids.

Spends hundreds of euros on a flight. Cant buy a noise cancelling heqdphone or earphone. I kinda assume a babys gonna cry when i fly because 200 people closed in an aluminium cylinder together isnt the most pleasant experience.

I imagine it wouldn't be profitable at all, but I would love services like flights, resturants, movies, etc that were adult only. Would be nice to just not have to deal with it.

It's unavoidable and a part of life you just have to deal with though. You roll your eyes, you turn up the noise cancelling on your headphones and you deal with it. But at the same time, parents should do all they can to keep their kids quiet and well behaved and maybe consider whether flights before their child is even a toddler are the best idea.

Seems that everyone forgets they were kids once . I mean, we were not born adults and intolerant, right?...

And you think you didn't annoy the fuck out of your own parents when you were one?

That's irrelevant. Yes, we were all kids once. That doesn't make children any less annoying to travel with. Source: RealEarthHuman
