Would you rather be on a flight full of screaming kids or one full of stag/hen dos?

Well it depends, right? Parents letting their kids scream and doing nothing to stop it, yeah they’re dickheads. But parents who are trying to control their kids and still failing deserve empathy, not judgement.

& I don’t agree with the “parents shouldn’t take their kids on flights until they’re X age” argument either. Babies are people and they have just as much right to be there as anyone else. & there isn’t a magic age where kids start behaving, some never do.

& you can’t start banning babies without banning other “antisocial” groups - drunk people, people with BO, obese people, creepy men, people who take their shoes off , etc etc etc.
