I’m just sus on if she’s trynna get that baby on a plane.

Don’t bring babies on planes, it’ll upset the baby worse than anything and leave the entire rest of the cabin only slightly less so.

Everything upsets babies, they live to be upset.

Yes but being made to fly actually hurts them because they aren’t ready for the pressure differences.

They aren’t crying just for the hell of it as much as everyone likes to joke about that being the case, that’s literally the only way they have to express that they need something or that they’re in some kind of distress for a good stretch of the time after they’re born.

Until the kid is able to sit still and be relatively quiet all you’re doing by forcing them onto the plane is imposing the very loud and painful results onto everyone else just trying to travel.

This goes for movies and restaurants and other such public places, though at least now you’re not also actually hurting the kid by bringing them into that situation. Still being as much of an ass to everyone else just trying to go about their business though.

If you’re mad that you’re not allowed to go anywhere anymore, hire a babysitter to take the break you’re imposing onto everyone else or maybe consider that next time before you bring a being who won’t learn to sit still and stop screaming for everything the want and need for years to come into the world.

You chose to be a parent, goddamn act like it.

You’re assuming a lot about a person’s situation who would be traveling internationally with a baby. They may not have a choice. In general, babies and their parents have as much right to exist in public as you do. Of course the courteous thing to do when your child is being disruptive is to try and calm them or remove them from the situation, but that’s not always possible. I’ve gone into a restaurant with a very happy baby that only turns sour after the food is ordered. All you can do sometimes is just try to mitigate it until you can get your food in to-go boxes and get out. Also worth noting that the main issue with flying for babies is the pressure change and not being able to deal with it. People will often yawn or chew gum to relieve it, and for babies you can give them a bottle or something chewy (depending on age) and it does the same thing.

It’s a pretty easy problem to solve, give them a bottle or sucking snack just before takeoff and landing, and keep them tired so they sleep most of the way. We’ve traveled with babies and it’s really not an issue most of the time.

Then again, we had to deal with two blowouts (huge poops that escape the diaper) on the same flight, so there certainly are hiccups you can’t plan for. But most of our trips with babies have been pretty okay.

Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.

Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!

Pst… Don’t tell… but, small kids, small problems. ;)

I’d rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.

No, man… Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It’ll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time…

Kids are great.

That’s why you beat some sense into them before they go out. /s

I’m currently at the “small problems” stage, and I’m trying not to take anything for granted. Yeah, I’m mildly sleep deprived, but life is great.

I interpreted the instructions to mean put “Not Employed” in the box, but they were ambiguous at best.
