    If you're flying without noise cancelling headphones, you're doing it wrong.

    That's not the point.

    All the couples I see with infants at the end of the week look absolutely exhausted. Yay vacations with toddlers!

    I'm not going to argue screaming kids of any age on planes suck, but parents will cash in on flying kids under 2 years of age for free the best they can. Hopefully they were at the back of the plane at least.

    Who the hell takes their infant kids, or any kids for that matter before they are old enough to walk, on trips to mexico? You spend thousands of dollars to bring your two little noisy monsters on a 5 hour flight, how is that relaxing. Trust me, they won't remember shit and you are just making everyone else's flight and start/end of their vacation that much more miserable. At least adult-only resorts FTW, fuck those kid-friendly monstrosity complexes.

    Noisy little infant shits on flights.
    Tl;dr - You're in the wrong thread. Don’t be poor, also use anc headphones or earplugs, and don’t be a whiny cunt.

    Longer version:

    If you don’t like it, fly private.

    If you can’t afford that, then calm your tits - you’re just a broke pleb like everyone else on that flight, and not entitled to shit. Pro tip: if you sit in a pod, there’s fewer kids in the section, and noise doesn’t travel as well. If you still can’t afford that, stop being poor.

    There’s plenty of discussion on this in another thread, with commentary from people with informed opinions (parents). I’ve travelled with kids since my first was 8 months old and only had one bad flight. There are two main reasons we do it: just because they might be too young to remember doesn’t mean they should be deprived of experience - they still get joy from seeing and doing new things. Secondly, I think broadening horizons at an early age is good for mental development; I haven’t researched this, but I’d be blown away if this could be disproved.

    Parenthood in it's entirety is basically personal sacrifice to raise another human being. Why would a vacation be any different?

    Parents need vacations too. It's not like you can kennel the kids for the week while you're in Mexico. I'd like to echo everything bjstare said.

    Mexico resorts are actually awesome for parents of small kids. Highly recommend.

    My sister goes on several vacations yearly with the little one. They are having a good time. Hawaii, Mexico, always beach and drink in hand it seems. Life looks good.

    Screaming children in a plane are easier to ignore than Toma.
    The increasing menagerie of pets in the cabin is what needs to die. Pets are property and if I'm not allowed to play my Nintendo Switch (property) without headphones so people +/- 4 rows away from me have to hear it, then your cat (property, not "furr-baby") needs to be subdued.

    x 1million on what's being said here.

    I have a three year old and 9 month old.
    We will be in Mexico at a wicked family resort in March.

    Stresses of life exist and will always exist, I'd rather do it at a beach or waterpark in +30° with my kids.

    Noise cancelling headphones exist for a reason.

    Take them to the pool or local park, they won't know the difference where the experience is. Travelling with screaming little shits in the terminal and aircraft is idiotic. You'll always be one of those dumb parents who decide to go on a "holiday" with their infants.

    Kennel the toddlers with the in-laws or relatives. That's what they are for. Leave the kids at home until they are old enough for their own seat.

    Hey @jutes , sounds like you need to start lobbying the airlines to ban children. Let me know how that goes.

    Maybe mandating them to sit in the back rows under a certain age would be a better idea. "Anyone travelling with little ones" are always the first to board, might as well usher them to the very back.

    All the more reason to upgrade to the overpriced premium section.

    FYI it's when they're old enough for their own seat that they're most prone to having a shitfit on the plane (i.e., age 3). Infants rarely scream for longer than a few seconds, all you do is throw a titty in their mouth. Travelling with kids isn't nearly as idiotic is commenting with such authority on something that you clearly don't have any firsthand experience with.

    Sounds like you decided not to have kids. Probably best for everyone if you stick to that path.

    Yeahhhh….riiiight. A few seconds.

    Haven’t decided yet. Whatever happens, we will not be bringing young screaming humans onto aircraft. That’s just lunacy for everyone involved. But you do you, for the experience.
