    It may shock you to learn that I don’t give a fuck.

    I don’t have kids. I didn’t sign up for the sacrifices that go with parenting. The mombie dragging her baby on a vacation it’ll never remember did, but somehow idiots act like there’s nothing wrong with parents pushing the sacrifices they signed up for onto everyone around them.

      You were a child once too.

      By the sounds of things, people could have been nicer to you. Hope you find some happiness somewhere mate.

      You exist in a society, so you do sign up for those sacrifices. That crying baby may be the nurse that changes your bed pan in 40 years and whose taxes will pay for retirement and healthcare for you.

      Them taking a baby on vacation is an assumption. People fly for other reasons. And even assuming it’s a vacation, parents actually dont want to take babies on vacation believe it or not.

        Fuck that. A screaming baby brought to a public place and where it can’t be taken outside when it starts to be a nuisance to everyone around is every bit as anti-social and entitled as a blue tooth speaker blasting music at full volume.

        Plan ahead. If you’re hellbent on ending every interesting part of your life to become a diaper slave, then get your travelling out of the way before you start. Plan for family to come to you or tell them they’ll have to wait til the kid is old enough to fly without being a public nuisance. What you shouldn’t get to do is bring your loud, smelly little bioweapon into a metal tube with hundreds of other people and make it everyone’s problem at 35,000 feet in the air. Idgaf how inconvenient that is for parents, we should really make parenthood a lot more inconvenient in general so people will actually give it some due consideration before opting in instead of acting like there’s nothing psychotic about just deciding to keep an unplanned pregnancy on a lark like it’s an interesting knick knack from a thrift store.
