This thread is goddamned train wreck. If you need to fly with young children, buy a big bag of those el cheapo foam ear plugs and pass them out to whomever wants some.

I don't have kids, and I have sensory issues that make baby crying noises physically painful, but I get it. Sometimes you need to take your tiny human places, and I just have to deal. It's a part of life.

It's unreasonable to expect parents to buy you earplugs. If you know you have sensory issues, you need to pack earplugs just in case. That is your responsibility.

Oh I travel with my own earplugs, but sometimes poeple forget. Nothing wrong with looking out for your fellow humans.

The packs of earplugs aren’t that expensive, and if you can’t get the kids to be reasonably well-behaved it’s your responsibility.

It’s not some random strangers job to take care of you.

Or a big bag to put the kids in and stuff em in the luggage compartment.

"People should abuse their children so that other passengers are more comfortable."

That's literally your suggestion

[–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

No, I'm saying children should count as luggage.

Ear plugs always fall out, don't work properly and feel uncomfortable for me

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I had that problem until I switched to smaller earplugs.
