Somehow I really doubt that the orthodontist told you that your 2 year old needs to be there.

Stupid sound effects from video games or dialogue from kids shows never does

See, I think the absolute opposite. I am curious how many of the must where headphones brigade think it’s perfectly acceptable to be on an extended phone call from a coffee shop, train seat, etc. I find that much more annoying and the folks doing it aren’t kids. I am shocked how many people are clearly just on business calls for hours at most coffee shops around here (during working/teleworking hours).

What are his special needs that require him to watch videos without headphones. You make things worse for parents who actually have children with special
Needs

No, he is not more important than me, or anybody else. You are breathtakingly selfish.

You are having a hissy fit because you can't let a disabled child have some screentime because you can't be bothered to hear some music. Yeah, I'm the selfish one.

Whatever. You are going to have a long life being constantly offended by the tiniest thing. For me I was just trying to get from point A to point B and have my child not scream. Because you wouldn't have liked that either, amiright?

If your kid wears them now and is “popular” then he didn’t have any special
Need as a child requiring him to listen without headphones. You sound like a total bitch.

The parents making excuses about how their kid has to have screens without headphones? You are shitty parents. I’m fuessing you had no portable screens at all as a kid and yet you fee like this is a necessity for your kid. It isn’t. No headphones, no screen. Problem solved. Grow up and be a parent.

Hahaha

This is actually a great idea!

Except I would turn the sound on. If the parents complied I would say, I’m happy to turn off my sound if you turn off yours. Big smile. If they say no, I would turn up my volume even more.

I’m going to download a loop of all sex scenes in Game of Thrones just in case this happens on a future flight. I don’t think I’m brazen enough for real porn but HBO is close enough.

Is this the same pervert that keeps posting over and over again about showing porn to children? Go away.

In this case, I think his disability was being born to a dim-witted and mannerless parent. In high school it won’t hold him back too much, but he will probably suffer for it in his career (and adult dating life), because being raised by clodhoppers does tend to impact one’s social skills.

Wrong but there's always going to be a miserable bit$$ like you who has to chime in. I really need to get a life. Fighting with parents over dumb stuff online is such a watse of time.

You are a jerk nd you are doing a disservice to your kid, because other parents are going to see that you are a jerk and will steer their kids away from associating with yours. Also you are an incompetent parent if you can't remember headphones or can't figure out how to entertain you kid without a screen.

Only when forced to be on a 9 hour flight with entitled assholes and their bratty offspring.
