[quote=Anonymous]List of responses to a child crying on a plane in the order of annoyance, worst to best: 1. Parents telling baby to shut up, getting annoyed with each other and sniping at each other. Have heard this many times. The worst is when they will say stuff like "Shut up, can't you see you are bothering all the other passengers." When I hear this I will sometime say, if I'm seated very close, "actually I'd much rather listen to your child cry than listen to you yell at your child for crying." Because it's horrible to hear! Kids get upset sometimes and no one enjoys listening to it, but I'm not comforted by the sound a parent verbally abusing a baby or toddler for making noise. 2. Letting child cry with no effort to address. Self-explanatory. You should do something! 3. Using audible phone/tablet noise to calm crying child. Better than crying but still very annoying. Just get headphones for the kid! You can find bluetooth headphones for kids that are fine for like $20. 4. Literally any other solution. I feel like Kaley's solution was between #4 and #3, depending on what the white noise machine sounded like. Maybe annoying but far from the most irritating thing, and if they were having a terrible travel day and it was their first time flying with the baby, I'm inclined to give them a pass. At least they actually cared that their child was crying and did something to stop it. This already makes them better parents than many people I've flown with.[/quote]
