I sure hope you, and some other respondents here who completely lack patience and common sense, choose not to procreate. Airlines exist to make money by tansporting customers from point A to point B and their only priority is safety of passengs and the crew. They will try to make your trip comfortable but they don't guarantee it, for a good reason. You have an education so you should be able to easily comprehend this reason. Like another complainer said earlier, he flew with perfectly behaved childred; however, because of a few bad experiences he wants to ban all parents with kids on planes. Not selfish at all, huh? Headphones exist for a reason, use them! The bottom line is, you can bitch all you want, luckily the decision is not up to you ;) You say to parents to not fly, well, parents can return the favor by being selfish jackasses and tell you "don't like it, don't fly! Why should we give a rat's behind about your comfort?" you reap what you sow. There is a good reason as to why flights where parents are not allowed do not exist. It's bad for business and completely uncalled for, so get over it or get off the plane. Life isn't perfect.

People who bring their screaming babies on board an aircraft are not only the jackasses but are the most rude, inconsiderate, self absorbed humans breathing. Psychologically, the most annoying sound for a human is a baby screaming. Yes, I am a psychologist so I have proven statistics. It's annoying parents, so learn to be more considerate and not take your child on a flight until it it 5 years old. We all pay a great deal of money for flights and we do not expect them to be like child care facilities. No, we don't care for your children, their comfort, or their very existance. WE JUST WANT A PEACEFUL FLIGHT. Stop being so selfish. You are no jackass!

If you would have pushed me, I'd have pushed you back..hard. You are lucky you didn't get charged with assault!! Sorry, if you choose to ride the Greyhound in the sky (in coach..I don't think kids should be in first/business classes), you don't get to choose who to fly with. If you don't like it, start your own airline that offers baby-free flights. pre-kids, I never cared about kids near me when I flew. I did, however, hate being seated next to smelly or obese people, but I didn't have a choice, did I? neither do you. we are flying in 2 weeks to England to see grandparents who are too old/sick to fly here. Yes, we are bringing our toddlers and will do our best to stop the crying, if there is any. But sometimes you just can't control kids at that age. Idiot…you actually PUSHED the mom?

I would pay an extra fee to have a flight that doesn't allow children!! We should at least have that option...

I agree. Babies whine on planes. Passengers whine about the babies whining and their parents. Parents whine about the passengers. Geez. "We adults are no different than babies!"

Enough of these "I'm the victim because of a screaming child" stories. They're kids! Bring ear plugs or headphones! You'd be amazed at how much you don't hear!

My daughter took her first flight at 2 months old, and then again at 19 months. The first flight on the way to Las Vegas, she never cried once! On the way back she only started to cry after the plane had already landed! The second flight this past December, she cried just before landing, but on the way back she didn't cry at all. She is a very well behaved child. Just because some parents can't control their kids, doesn't mean that ALL kids are spoiled rotten brats. If you don't like having kids on your flight, why don't YOU drive to where ever the F*** you want to go! Not all kids are horrible on flights!

If you had just acknowledged this: "Bottom line…I have flown many times with good, well-behaved kids. The parents were attentive and sometimes stern. You could tell they were good, involved parents…. and, I do not mind flying with those kids or those parents…and, for those I am sympathetic when the kids get fussy and tired…because they have tried." Instead of making your obnoxious blanket statement in the first place in response to mine, we wouldn't have had this exchange. Oh, and Jimmy? I do my job, and do it well. Why don't you find one, too?
