Please don't fly with your kids, especially babies, and if you do, please for the love of all that might be holy, don't do it in business and first class!

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rich people deserve to suffer. Always fly first class with your kids and give them caffeine pills before the flight.

Based and energy pilled.

People in business class or first class are almost never rich. Sky mile programs, travel credit card point programs, gaming point relationships between airlines and affiliates can make business and first quite affordable. And for when it can't be affordable, if someone is paying for it, it's not usually for luxury. I try to always send my wife at least business class so she is treated MUCH more as a human being than she normally has been in coach, as she is a minority and disabled. Rich people charter planes or own them. Those in business class are usually people who just plan ahead better than you. And if you're jealous of that, then you're a jealous piece of something.

Please don't leave your house, and if you do, please for the love that might be holy don't do it in areas actually inhabited by people.

Please tell that to parents who can't keep their kids polite in public. Being a child is not an excuse to be a monster.

Lol. I'm also not the biggest fan of children, but what are the parents supposed to do? Not having vacation? Leave them home alone? Throw them out the window on the drive to the airport?

[–] riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

get a sitter. If you can afford a holiday, budget for a sitter.

Or don’t have holidays until the snot factories are old enough to behave if you can’t afford a sitter. You chose to have children.

Let's see who will pay for your retirement and medical care eventually... (unless if you live in that US hellscape ofcourse)

[–] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that's all you're having kids for please do not have kids.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, one hundred percent. The only reason I got kids was to make sure they can take care of my retirement.

Just as I'm taking care of my parents. I have totally absolutely 100% not broken off all contact with them because of their shitty behaviour. No sir, absolutely not.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

well most likely be dead before anyone under 30 reaches that age.

[–] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

They can pick a vacation where they don't have to fly... They chose to have kids and that comes with a lot of baggage.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Usually, yes. Stay home or have a sitter or nanny. If it's a family emergency or tragedy, benedryl for the child before the flight. Do NOT change the child outside of the plane's lavatory. Premium economy, not business class, as premium has some perks for bringing your baby, is more affordable than business class. Daytime flights if possible. Red-eye's people want to sleep. Be prepared, binkies, blankets, diapers, quiet toys, etc. Try to fly when you will have the most energy, hard to parent if you yourself are sleeping from exhaustion. (not always a choice, we know.) Insure your flight. If the baby is sick, colic, or especially if it has inner ear problems, don't go or again, arrange care for the child. No need to make the baby suffer, and in turn making you and everyone else miserable, too. Many people will not be kind if the child wasn't feeling well and kept them up 14 hours, which will be hard on you in addition to your own exhaustion.

I'm going to do it and then laugh at your annoyance.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Up to you. May or may not go well for you. While I won't do anything to you except an unkind look, you don't know who else we're flying with and what they might be going through. You really want to risk you or your child's well being just be right? Have you seen the crazy's on planes lately? I'll tell you this, if someone does read you the riot act or worse, I sure as hell won't come to your aid. And despite wanting to film such a happening to see you miserable or worse, I won't, because I won't want to contribute to giving you evidence you could use against your attacker(s). If you think it's terrible I wouldn't try to protect your baby, not my fault you were such a terrible parent that the child would have been better off being aborted than being your child.

[–] mister_monster@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If someone attacked me or my child on a plane I would fuck them up real bad.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

While we popcorn and watch your inflight entertainment.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, so you are as unmannered as your kids, good to know.

[–] foksmash@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

If you have to fly business with the rest of the poors that can't afford a private jet, you don't get to complain.
