Woman Refuses To Sit Next To A Crying Baby On Plane, Gets Instant Karma

You do this because you're a decent person, and a good parent. I've been on flights where the parents ignored their crying baby, once so much the stewardesses became involved. The woman in the article should have booked business class, where there are no babies.

At least you're considerate of others around you. My issue is with the parents who just let their children cry and scream and do NOTHING. That irks me more than the crying child honestly.

I resort to going to their pediatrician and asking for sleeping aids. Thank goodness they work on my kids. A stewardess even thanked me for having ‘well-behaved’ kids not knowing they are just loopy with the meds and the long flight. This may be a big no-no to some parents but honestly if my co-passengers think they are stressed in seeing babies and kids in a flight, it is more stressful for me as the parent because packing their stuff alone and hauling them with us drives me nuts already and thinking about making them busy the whole flight and not bothering others triggers anxiety attack. So I go the easy way- medicate them.

Yes!!!!! Kicking is so annoying. I understand crying but letting your kid kick the chair in front of you and NOT say anything to stop the behavior is rude. My mom and I were on a 3 hr flight with two kids kicking each of our chairs while we were trying to sleep. I wanted to say something but didn't think the appropriate words would come out.

I've been in flights were adults behind me were kicking my seat! Age wasn't the issue!

Oh good grief, yes! I was kicked in the back by a baby all the way across the Pacific Ocean, an 11-hour flight. The parents spoke no language in common with anyone on the plane, so even after my seatmate and I and the flight attendants pantomimed the kid stopping, the parents just kept smiling and nodding. And the kid kicked. And kicked. And kicked. And kicked. But it was a trans-oceanic flight, so they couldn't be removed. We just had to shut up and bear it. I traveled with my kids when they were little. Sometimes they would cry, but most seatmates were understanding about it. I certainly never had anybody yell and curse at me for having a child act perfectly normally! I've also been on flights with babies that never stopped crying, even though every person around took a turn walking the baby and trying to cheer it up. Babies cry. That's life.

Yeah, I don't get the parents who watch their toddler kick the seat in front of them and don't do anything. It makes you wonder if they allow their kid to hit others at home. I had an aunt who had 4 boys and longed for a girl. Baby #5 was a girl and my aunt was thrilled and grateful for her. Problem was my aunt never disciplined her and eventually as a toddler, my baby cousin was biting, kicking and smacking others across their faces.

No, but pinching off its windpipe will!

Then how 'bout shooting :)))

A pacifier or Duct Tape. Both if needed.

Tell me about it! I'm so sick of the OMG let's film them generation it's annoying. Videos like that usually thrown out of court because they're hearsay. You don't get the whole story by just a snip bit of a video.

The best way to not have yourself filmed in public is to not act like a s**t head.

I agree. It seems pretty obvious that the lady was a jerk but I often wonder if we're seeing the whole story. I guess if she got thrown off we did. This time.

Are you going 'off topic'? Could have sworn you didn't like that on another BP post... Not that I'm criticising it by the way. I don't mind people going off topic.

Um...no. No indeedy. People who are this over the top NEED to be outed. I include the idiot racists who scream at people on the street as well. /// If you're going to act like an a*s, then it would pay to remember that almost everyone has a nifty handheld telephonic device that has a camera and internet access. You don't get away with behaving badly any more, and that's a good thing.

Yeah, well in America we have this thing called rights and freedom. So unless it's on government property she has the right to film of photograph.

Still, it was really rude for her to do that.

I always try and help mums and dads with crying babies, theyre usually exhausted and appreciate you interacting with the child to distract them. usually it works too, having an unfamiliar face doing funny faces at child stops em crying at least for a while

I'm used to crying babies as I've been flying since the age of 2 months old (I was a golden child when it came to flying never made a sound, slept all the time never kicked any chairs) so they don't bother my in the slightest, I also use public transport a lot and there a lot of crying babies on there too. If I've had a bad day I usually keep the can you shut your baby or child up in my head and don't say it out loud, as I've been told from a young age if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
