[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does not make it right, but I think that man has mental issues or perhaps is on the spectrum. His reaction was not typical of a rational Nuro typical person.

(Personally, I would be pulling my hair out if a baby was screaming on an airplane the entire time. I just couldn’t deal with it, but I would not have the reaction he had. I also would’ve had an I also would’ve had a hard time with him screaming and ranting. And that’s why I drive everywhere, even cross country. )[/quote]

I was just going to post something similar. While most people seem to sympathize with the parents/children in this case, perhaps the man has PTSD or other mental/emotional condition and the incessant crying set him off.

No one has identified whether or not the flight attendants tried to get parents to soothe child and they were lackadaisical about it. The only footage we have of them is telling the man to "calm down." Maybe he asked flight attendants (politely) to please ask parents to quiet child and he was ignored.

If you have PTSD triggered by certain noises, or ASD/sensory issues, BRING HEADPHONES or earplugs.[/quote]

If you listen to the entirety of the video, the man says he had his ear phones on loud and the baby had been screaming for quite awhile over the sounds of the ear phones. I too wonder if the baby's parents tried to stop the crying. I don't believe that the man was the only person disturbed by the constant crying. He was just the only person to negatively act upon it. I have flown with a baby and yes there are ways to alleviate a baby's crying, even in the air. But of course, you can't be one of those cry-it-out parents. I don't blame the baby, but the baby's parents bare some responsibility for the selfish nonchalant behavior as well. [/quote]

Nobody here knows how proactive the parents were being. All we know is that a large, loud, grown man was having a literal tantrum about a baby crying. You could barely hear the baby crying in the video, over the racket that this dude was making. And the man doesn’t know the parents weren’t trying- because according to him he was ASLEEP with headphones in.

I also thought the video was hilarious. Mainly because of how ridiculously babyish the man looked, and hos wife looking beyond embarrassed, and the flight attendant being like “yeah well it’s a baby, what’s your excuse??” Hahaha[/quote]
