[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flying with my two year old over the summer I was literally in tears because she was screaming. I tried to mitigate the possibility of this happening on our recent transatlantic flight by giving her a full dose of Benadryl - to no avail. I really don't know what I can do for people like you, OP. She is two and we fly. That's how it is right now. [/quote]

Well, you kind of suck.  Please stay home or figure out a way to keep your kid from crying. [/quote]

OP here....I get that people sometimes NEED to take long flights with little kids (funeral, visit family overseas, etc) but why would you take a little kid who you KNOW is awful on flights on a transatlantic flight if it's just for a vacation? Not saying that's the case here, but it blows my mind people are so inconsiderate. Your two year old won't appreciate Europe or wherever anyways. [/quote]

My toddler has been good on all but one flight thus far but even if he wasn't, we choose to take our child on flights because a few hours of potential stress and an not fun travel experience (that may or may not happen) is worth the days of vacation, the memories and photos we make and take and the fun the child has on the trip.  They may not remember it but they still have fun.  Unfortunately, just like with the metro, bus, Amtrak etc planes are open to everyone...including first class.  If you don't like it fly private.  No one is doing anything wrong.  Remember you were a kid too and I'm sure you weren't perfect.[/quote]
