Aeroplane FFS! This is Australia. We speak English, not debased Yankee gibberish.

I was on the plane coming back from the Gold Coast last year.
I had 3 seats to myself and about 10 rows back was a woman on an isle seat with a new born.
The air lady thingy ask if she could put her next to me, I out right said "yes I do mind and no she can't sit here".
In the end they moved her down the front of the plane - I was told they moved and air marshall?? (I didn't think we had them) who had 3 seats to himself.
Best move I made! The infant cried and screamed the whole way from Coolangatta to Melbourne!
Best part was, when she got off the plane people offered to help her get stuff from the lockers above and around her. When I walked down the front I did hear people comment that she didn't even say please, thankyou or even drop a smile.
I don't regret it, but I feel pretty bad about it. |
I don't think that's mean at all. Mothers or fathers should be taking care of a new born. I don't get that at all. Unless the woman was openly grieving something, then gees, just no!

Yes lighten up... baby crying - big deal - a lot better than the conversations of bafoons - especially on long flights when the alcohol is flowing!

| I have unearthed my ipod, which had hidden itself in the spare room, so my next trip to Melbourne should be peaceful. Peace to all who travel on buses, planes and trains, and good luck to those who travel far, stay safe. |

unless they're in the seat behind me kicking me in the back, or squirming beside me, I don't care. People with babies travel too, In the vast majority of cases they don't enjoy their kid screaming any more than the rest of us, and anyone who's tried to calm a cranky toddler knows that short of strangling them it's just not an easy task.
So on any flight longer than an hour, simple. As soon as you can, order booze, put headphones on, attach the tablet and watch a movie, read a book/listen to music in blissful ignorance.

Listen to music and listen to it loudly! That's the best advice I can provide to anyone who's experiencing a crying baby on board.
If parents are trying to settle their child as best as they can then I'm not too fussed but if a child is constantly crying non-stop with no parental effort to curb the crying then I'd be annoyed and so would countless others I'm sure.
It's not a big deal for me in the bigger scheme of things but I suppose I've never sat right next to a crying baby on a plane though to have a more negative and unfavourable attitudes towards crying children.

Crying babies should be placed in a secure and heated capsule attached to the outside of the plane.
Airbub 380 is what I'd call it.

Could be worse you know. I'm sure those who never made their destination would happily trade for a hundred screaming babies

Only those who've never been a baby can complain

There is a reason they invented Phenergan & Valium - use liberally with said baby.

Exactly. I get annoyed with incompetent parenting.

The best answer is to administer a couple of stiff brandies. No need for precision, the brandy cure works equally well whether you apply it to yourself or the baby.
