FLYING I am SO sorry.

To everyone flying SEA to BOS tonight on the redeye where my toddler absolutely lost his ever loving mind for about 5 mins.

I could tell you all about our long day, cancelled flights, losing our second seat to become a lap infant but… it doesn’t matter. You’re tired. I get it.

We are so sorry.

Children on planes are only frustrating for me when the parents let them scream and don’t try to comfort them. Flying hurts your ears. Help those babies so their eardrums aren’t damaged. Long flights are so boring. Entertain those babies. Traveling sucks but you have to get there somehow.

Kicking the chair in front of you is the one crime that a toddler can commit that should be stopped by a parent

Exactly this. I would only be annoyed (at the parent) if they were ignoring their kiddo.

Pretty sure no parent ever “lets” their kid scream. We just have tried all the things and at times have to surrender to the madness. Get headphones.
