You hit my PTSD from a flight many years ago, LHR – DFW. It was 15 hours of a teething child crying in the seat right beside me, it was horrible……..but that was not the worst of it…..mom smelled of weeks old rancid sweat……where’s my whiskey……
I wish it were ok to just join in the screaming at that point. It would be such a relief to be able to just tip your head back and scream.
Three words for you – Noise cancelling headphones.
You’re just jealous. Every single person with a brain should be screaming as they sit on the steel tube hurtling through the sky at hundreds of miles of hour. The fact that we all have to sit quietly while smiling people in bright clothes overcharge us for coffee makes the whole thing more of a perverse insult to the principles of wonder and humility before nature.

Children under 5 should be caged in the cargo hold.
This reminded me of Screech and Screech is dead
It’s 2022, invest in a set of over ear noise canceling headphones.
I go one further and put in music grade ear plugs first then the headphones over them. I never buy my seat with ryanair so it always tends to put me at the wing near the engine. Can’t hear a thing.
It gets quiet, a bit too quiet. Like eerily quiet.
Also the plugs were not for the noise but to stop my ears popping. To birds one stone.
would that be the day the ice age ended?
you weren’t a child yourself at one stage no? It’s stressful enough brining kids through an airport without dicks giving you dirty looks
As a parent, we don’t want them screeching as much as you don’t want them screeching. Kids are a pain in the ass and the younger ones don’t understand they can’t move about until we’re in the air etc, so it leads to frustration and eventual meltdowns.
It’s tough for the families too!
I think it’s often the ear pressure thing that sets young children off because they don’t understand how to equalise it.
I’m away at the moment & from my airport experience can confirm lines & screaming kids go hand in hand.
Have we entered a stage yet if ‘the man will get ya’ will come to fruition? If a child is screaming/being a nuisance to everyone around would a stranger telling them to be quiet freak them out by making them realize other people exist?
I suppose you never cried when you were a kid , auhhhhh do you need a hug ?
People in the comments here whinging “where you never a kid once, blah blah blah” OP isn’t saying that it’s the parents fault or that that you shouldn’t have kids etc.. They are just saying that screaming kids on planes are annoying and I think we can all agree on that!
