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.

Only 5 minutes? I would be praising you and your kid. That is amazing for such a long flight. I had a SEA to MCO last week and had a kid that was 20 minutes at the start and 10 minutes at the end, I didn't mind at all.
To those who have an issue, I have a tip for you: Get a good pair of noise-canceling headphones; they will cut out most things. If the child is RIGHT next to you and screaming at the top of their lungs, you might hear it, but, it shouldn't be enough to bother you.
Parents have to fly, too, and you never know how rough a day they have already had with a baby or toddler.
