Deeper State
I don’t ever blame the child who is acting out. I don’t blame the parent if they are making an effort to parent their
child.
However, some parents just don’t seem to care how their children act. I blame those parents for their children’s conduct.

Cool. Well no need to be so angry in life. Doubt the parents weren’t trying

Infants are rarely the problem, just plug them on to the boob and they shutup.

What happens when you prepare all that backpack crap and the kid still screams?

This. Sometimes kids cannot be reasoned with, especially babies and toddlers.

Well, then the kid has crappy parents and should not travel.
