[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The comments about not wanting to hear parents reading to kids are obnoxious folks. When kids are too young to read you have to read to them. Sure you might also set them up with a movie or a tv show for a time but it's totally normal to also maybe read a 3 or 4 year old a couple picture books to pass the time. I have a 7 yr old who is a good reader and she will sometimes ask me to read a chapter or two aloud to her to give her a break from reading and I do. Judging this is insane.

And let's get real: there is NOTHING more annoying than a person using a device without headphones in a public space. I would rather listen to someone read books to their kids for an entire flight than listen to some kid's iPad playing music or game noises for any length of time. It is way easier to tune out human voices than electronic noises.

So we should really just all unite against the people who refuse to use headphones for some insane reason and leave everyone else alone.[/quote]

Read to your kid for the 21 hours a day that you're not on a plane. You really think your fellow passengers want to hear you reading aloud from some 7th grade level book? Give me a break. [/quote]
