Parents don't hear their kid wailing like normal people do. It's like a grandfather clock. After a while you barely notice it.
I wouldn't have dropped an N bomb, but I sure would have wanted to slap the shit out of the motherComment

You learn to tune certain crying out, but when a child is screaming in pain, it's a heartbreaking cry that makes you do anything to ease it. (At least it is when you're a decent parent.)Originally posted by Cooter View Post
I have three kiddos, but my pet peeve is kids crying in restaurants/on airplanes/in public, ect...especially when I'm kid free and trying to enjoy some me time. I can say that I've been on a flight where a baby was inconsolable and mom was flying alone with another small kiddo. Between the flight attendants, parents, and a couple of other passengers, we passed the baby around and walked the aisles to get it calmed down. That was a special situation. Most of us had more compassion for her since she was flying home to bury her husband.Comment

Depends on the parents. Some parents don't give a shit and will tune out their kids and do not care how they act. Others are scared shitless of their kids and how they act so they cower whenever their kids throw a tantrum or cry. Others just don't have the first clue of how to take care of their kids. They mean well, but have the same thinking process as their own kids.Originally posted by Cooter View PostComment

We're super sensitive to the noise our twins make when on a plane or in a restaurant.
Restaurant: We DO walk out with the noisy one if nothing is working and then give them the option to go back in if quiet.
Airplane: We do all the normal things to keep them quiet, however we'll break our own rules on snacks/other things to keep them hushed. There is no place to go and you have to be aware of other people's comfort in this situation. We flew when they were less than a year and then 3 - neither was really that bad. Well, from a kid behavior point of view. Sucked when they were babies. 2 strollers, 2 car seats, luggage...kids....jesus I was tired after that flight. haha
Anyway, some crying can be expected - but some parents really don't seem to care.Originally posted by MR EDDComment

In a case of toddlers in a restaurant atmosphere you drag their ass outside and tell them you'll give them something to whine or cry about. They usually smarten up, much to the chagrin of sackless observers.Comment

ATLANTA — A former aerospace executive who while on a plane flight slapped a crying toddler and called the little boy, who is black, a racial slur was sentenced on Monday to eight months in prison for an incident his attorney blamed on his alcoholism.
Joe Rickey Hundley, who apologized in court to the child's mother, was accused of striking the 19-month-old boy in the face on board a Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta last February.
Hundley, 61, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in October. Prosecutors had recommended a six-month prison sentence, but a federal judge opted for a stiffer punishment.
"I'm very sorry," Hundley told the child's mother during the court hearing in Atlanta. "I made the most terrible day in my life much worse for myself and others."
Hundley's attorney has said her client had flown to Atlanta to remove his dying son from life support after an insulin overdose and was emotionally distraught. She also blamed his alcoholism for his behavior on the flight.
The child's mother previously said Hundley was belligerent and seemed intoxicated. He used a racial slur when the child, named Jonah, started crying as the plane descended.
The baby is black and his adoptive mother, Jessica Bennett of Minneapolis, is white. Hundley, whose attorney said he was fired from his executive position at AGC Aerospace & Defense after the slapping incident, also is white.
At the sentencing hearing, Bennett said she, too, had experienced the death of a child, explaining that about four years ago she and her husband had to remove their 3-week-old baby from life support. But they did not react violently in their grief, she said.
Bennett called Hundley a "socially underdeveloped racist" and a bully.
"He treated me and Jonah like we were less than human and he deserves to be punished," she said.
Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman noted that Hundley had a previous assault conviction and was on probation for drunken driving when he slapped the 19-month-old.
"You don't have the right to raise your hand against another human being," Baverman said.Comment
