Your choice to have a child does not mean I have to give up my comfort, or my anything really. That's your obligation you chose, not me.
So a little context. As far as a very shallow search revealed, the mother of the child didn't ask the young woman to change seats and she didn't record the video. The flight attendant asked and a bystander filmed it and posted it online. If those facts are true the mother didn't do anything wrong, she was trying to calm her child without making it another person's problem. Someone else got involved in a situation that didn't involve them, recorded it and put it online.
Because the mother choose to have the child? See the problem?
/s
now now, the child could have chosen to spontaneously erupt out of the mother. through jesus all things are possible
So jot that down.
That's not how it works. You put up with children because society put up with YOU as a child.
Like sure you don't have to give up your seat, you could, it might be nice, but you don't by any means have to. I'm just tired of /c/childfree bullshit like complaining there are children playing outside and it's intruding on their desire for silence.
"There was a baby on three plane" shut the fuck up, sounds like there were two babies in the plane.
Skill issue just don't cry and annoy people as a child
I'm not even saying that I don't like the sound of kids playing outside. I have loud ass kids that live upstairs from me and kids playing outside everyday. Doesn't bother me one but. But if, say, one of the parents came to me and wanted me to move my car out of my spot because their kids wanted to put their basketball hoop there then fuck no.
Or, in a real life scenario, a parent wanted me to cut off my shit short in a public bathroom because their kid didn't like using the urinal also fuck no. Kids doing kid stuff, riding bikes, climbing trees, getting in a little bit of trouble, shouting outside/inside, getting a little emotional,, etc... I'm all for it.
Literally no one is saying any of that. The post is about not giving up a thing you literally paid for just to placate a stranger's crying baby (apparently not even at the behest of said stranger, but another unrelated stranger). It is absurd, and your leap of logic to "we all hate to see children playing outside" is just as absurd.
Yes, like this specific seat I paid for. Or my time or energy even. I do not have to give that up for a stranger's kids. "Putting up with" the fact that kids exist is not the same as being expected to bend over backwards to parent a stranger's child.
People like you are why "/c/childfree bullshit" exists. You think that "it takes a village" means that if someone mixes their DNA with someone else's, suddenly that is the "Village's" problem and not the parents.
