| White noise is ok there other passenger is the entitled one |
|
As someone who actually had a portable white noise machine for my baby (though never used it on the plane) I'm inclined to say that the passenger complaining was being a bit dramatic. We had this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D50RYSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title
It was not loud and if we used it on a plane, I doubt it would be heard by someone more than 2 seats away. It played a "hush" type white noise and I used it in public more than once. I cannot imagine someone preferring to hear a baby crying over that machine. It was tiny! I think even at its highest volume level, it would be quieter than some people's regular speaking voice. It's designed to get placed inside a stroller or crib with a baby, so it has a pretty short range. I think I'm team Kaley on this. Especially first time flying with a baby. They might not have handled it perfectly but it sounds like they did their best and successfully quieted the baby. What more do people want? |
Yeah, but if she had a private plane then everyone would be complaining about how much she hates the environment. Literal proof that celebs can't win. |
| I saw some of this interview… Either on my Instagram feed on the today show or something, but honestly, I thought she was just coming up with one of those funny anecdotes that you need for a talkshow. I’m sure a lot of it was exaggerated. |
| ^ tens to agree. And didn't she also say she was so angry at what the woman said, not just the white noise? |
The title of your thread should be Kaley Cuoco and her husband Tom Pelphrey since both were "enraged". Btw I agree that they were wrong but, why blame the woman only? Both were entitled |
Private planes are terrible for the environment. What's wrong with you? |

I've read a lot of men also say they didn't want kids and then had them...George Clooney and Simon Cowell come to mind. Would you say that to them? There is no shame in not wanting kids and then changing your mind. If I were the kid I wouldn't feel any less love unless the parent said I wish I didn't have you! |
I actually don't think this will be a big deal unless they decide they hate having kids now that they have them, and treat their kids accordingly. If the kids are loved and wanted, then it's actually a sweet story to pass down, like "I was certain I didn't want kids and would be happy without them, but then I changed my mind and now realize how incredibly wrong I was because I can't imagine not being your mom." It is also a useful conversation starter about family planning and life choices with teens and adult kids, because it demonstrates how you can be so sure about something and then change your mind, and you don't have to lock yourself into anything. You can evolve and make different choices for yourself. My kid knows that for a long time I was pretty ambivalent about having kids -- I didn't definitely not want them, but I wasn't sure I'd make a good mom or be ready for the sacrifice of kids. But we've had conversations about what that changed and what made me decide I wanted to be a mom after all, and I know for a fact that she likes these conversations. It's also interesting to hear her talk about her own plans -- she really, really wants to be a mom at this point. Which I think is great and might be an indication that I make motherhood look appealing. A major reason I was ambivalent about having kids is that my mom clearly hated motherhood and maybe shouldn't have become a mom (or at least had fewer kids) and that really impacted how I viewed it. But I actually love being a mom (and am also glad I stopped at one) and I know my DD can feel that. TL;DR -- as long as their kids are loved and wanted, I don't think they'll care that their moms once said back in their 20s that they didn't want kids. |
| Bizzy Bee, she has to have her bizzy bee! |
She’s the one who relayed the story and she is the one who was interviewed.

| White noise is so bad for infants and kids. |
Proof or do you just like to make things up? |
OP would not have mentioned a male celebrity complaining about this. |
