By now we’re all acutely aware that the final population finds kids on planes problematic.
Every week there’s a story a few crying/pooping child on a flight, and their entitled parents.
How dare they make noise/smell/jump on tray tables/sit in firstclass.
Some who report these offenses (normally on Reddit) have a degree; but some also simply can’t stomach anything that reminds them of who they once were.
After which there’s this story… which defies belief… until you see the photo.
Posting the below photo on Reddit, it was simply titled, “This kid was running up and down the aisle, and using the seats as his own personal jungle gym.”
The photo shows a toddler, ‘planking’ across the heads of two seats; and it almost seems inconceivable that it was allowed.
However it was – for at the very least so long as it took to take the photo.
The kid looks super settled there, which supports the implication that no parent/caretaker told the kid to make use of their plane seat as God intended.
The post attracted almost two thousand comments, most of them in disbelief that this happened.
“Yell ‘CONTROL YOUR F–KING KID’ really loud,” read one suggestion.
One other could understand the parents’ considering, writing, “Essentially the most common reason is because they gave up parenting since it is difficult to be consistent, fair, willing to repeat yourself 4 million times a day.”
“It’s way easier to take a seat there and pretend you don’t see it or hear it.”
This commenter was sick of everyone on planes: “I’d pay extra for an 18+ flight. Nevertheless, some adults act worse than children.”
And after all, other parents judged hard: “Whenever you’re in a confined space like this you do WHATEVER YOU CAN to stop your kids from doing this.”
“I actually have flown over and over with my hyperactive kids, and even one with a newly walking toddler that desired to run around to pour people’s drinks of their laps.”
“It’s harder than I believed it could be to maintain them contained, and people little fu**ers make me crazy each time we fly. Nonetheless, they’re MY kids so it’s okay they make me crazy. They are going to never make other people crazy because that’s not fair.”
But we feel that the perfect perspective was this: “That child is a walking talking reminder to take your contraception, wear a condom and stay secure.”
