Flying with kids is stressful, and I always feel bad for the parents with the

wouldn't dare make a flight without them. Why risk it

Mayor of Cougartown

I don't feel badly for those parents, they chose to take the kid on a flight...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 9:58am

Those people choose to get on a flight where a kid could board. I don't feel

Kind of a stupid answer although you apparently thought it was clever...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 10:25am

Looks like 6 others also thought it was pretty clever

cougfanz

I was in first class...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 10:48am

You sound more entitled than those parents.

Baron

12/4/19 10:51am

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

cougfanz

12/4/19 10:53am

Yikes, man. Time for some serious introspection.

Slim

12/4/19 10:55am

Yes you appear to need a lot of that...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 10:56am

Wow. You must have never raised kids or you are old enough to have forgotten.

GilaHank

12/4/19 11:15am

Sure there is something you can do, don't fly with an infant...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:28am

That’s not always feasible or even possible.

Nuke

12/4/19 11:35am

For the most part it is...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:40am

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

fldnstrm

12/4/19 11:42am

That's true as well, the really small ones aren't generally hard to appease...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:06pm

That’s true.

Nuke

12/4/19 11:42am

Exhibit A of entitled behavior.

Baron

12/4/19 11:37am

What if your grandkid is an infant and lives far away? Will you encourage them

flavordave

12/4/19 11:38am

I'd go and visit them for the first few years...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:43am

And if you had a family get together where you weren't the one flying would you

flavordave

12/4/19 12:20pm

Yes I would encourage that...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:25pm

Grandparents aren’t getting any younger (as you likely know).

GilaHank

12/4/19 11:38am

I think that people can all be reasonable about things...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:48am

Maybe take some of your own advice?

Eddie

12/4/19 11:38am

No it isn't silly to think that they should delay unnecessary travel with a kid

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:55am

Part of recognizing you're the only person in the world is also recognizing...

Eddie

12/4/19 12:06pm

I'm sure there are occasional circumstances and have stated as much...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:17pm

Or you appear to have forgotten there are other people than you.

fldnstrm

LOL, don't be daft...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:20pm

Hello pot.

fldnstrm

12/4/19 12:34pm

Where did I call for government intervention?

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:42pm

You didn't, I was being facetious.

Uh Coachspeak is right here.

Superman21

12/4/19 10:23am

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

Slim

12/4/19 10:25am

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

ldssdl

12/4/19 10:38am

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

Superman21

Most people understand that kids are not always going to be nice and peaceful..

Completely agree...

CoachSpeak

That sounds interesting. How should I search for it?

Found it. Pretty funny thread honestly.

It’s messed up to type “ My very first rule for marriage that I made for my wife is.....” and

shimmy

Not as messed up as actually thinking that it was not humor...

CoachSpeak

none of the laughs were laughing with you

BlueFrog

12/4/19 3:11pm

Yea lots of humorless SJW types on here for sure...

CoachSpeak

That never stops you.

CoachSpeak

I found it very humorous. Great job.

shimmy

12/4/19 3:17pm

I can sympathize with what they're going through...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 10:49am

How do you know they're not "minimizing the inconvenience"? Maybe they are doing everything they possibly can.

durandal

12/4/19 10:55am

We're all on a plane, it's close quarters...

CoachSpeak

I thought you were in first class? How could you see what they were doing if they are behind you?

Those crying kids are getting on the plane. Whether it is with you or not is your decision.

shimmy

There's obviously one baby in this scenario

CommodoreCoug

12/4/19 11:40am

Murphy's law: if you take a flight without noise cancelling headphones you will have a screaming child on the flight

Solomon Levi

12/4/19 11:50am

I had headphones...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 11:58am

I saw that, and I was agreeing with you

Baron

Never said that...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:54pm

So you are okay with people traveling with infants on an airplane? Or are you

That's dumb.

CoachSpeak

I'm considerate cuz I actually tolerate screaming kids. Your post is just dumb

WDaddy

12/4/19 3:24pm

Best part about the back-and-forth is how many people miss the point.

m0resn0w

12/4/19 12:52pm

Are all screaming children on planes the result of irresponsible parents?

CommodoreCoug

12/4/19 12:55pm

Ultimately yes...

CoachSpeak

12/4/19 12:59pm

Thanks for condensing all of your bad takes on the subject into a single post

CommodoreCoug

12/4/19 1:03pm

Exactly. This is why I hate everyone who brings little kids to church.

Byron McNertney

12/4/19 2:21pm

I have no doubt you aren't even considering how to be courteous to others...

CoachSpeak

Yes, you're clearly the expert on social graces and human interaction

CommodoreCoug

Well I certainly don't unnecessarily inconvenience others...
