Spoilt Brats/Annoying Kids/Etc
I know this topic has been covered before, but I have and idea that I
know I'm going to cop a lot of flak for, anyhow here goes:_ Its the typical scenario, travelling from Brisbane to Sydney on Virgin Blue, with this child persistantly crying and screaming, with the parent doing very little to rectify the situation. It was so bad that i really pittied the pax that sat so close to it,. I suggested to the pax beside me, that the parent should take the kid into one of the aircrafts toilets, to at least calm the child down and to isolate his offensive noise from those sitting close to him. The pax beside me agreed, but getting the parent to agree would be a major problem. I welcome any feedback on this. In the meantime a friend and I are desperately trying to invent a special mask for this situation, when if the mask is placed over the mouth of the infant, it would completely muffle out all the noise without suffocating the child in anyway at all. If this works, I will can retire a rich person. |

Last year, I flew from Hong Kong back to New Hampshire. There were 25 two
months old babies on the plane ( a group of people went to China and adopt kids). You should see the look on our faces ( the other 300 passengers ). We are bracing for a 15 hours screaming flight. To all our suprise, those babies were quiet all the way. May be they don't want the pilot to turn the plane around and head back to China. Kenny "Qansett" wrote in message ...

special mask for this situation, when if the mask is placed over the mouth of the infant, it would completely muffle out all the noise without suffocating the child in anyway at all. Besides the obvious technical problems, as the baby muffler would be rather large to be effective, the only type of parent who would use one would be the type of parent who has already tried her/his best to have a quiet child. The really obnoxious parent would never buy one. Casey |

I agree that a parent who is not trying to cope is highly annoying BUT most planes only have a couple of toilets for the entire coach class -- I sure don't want to have to stand in long lines while someone monopolizes a toilet to isolate a child, nurse a baby, make love or anything else other than a quick trip to do what needs doing there |

Kenny I flew with my babies often when they were about 6 weeks old and on -- we never had a single incident of prolonged crying -- if you take care of their ears and the baby is not colicky then most don't cry for extended periods "Qansett" wrote in message ...

usually small kids cry on descent (ear blockages). It's those 3-to-5 YO's
that tend to scream the most particularly when they don't get their way for whatever reason. Most of the time smaller kids only cry when they have a REASON to cry.

You don't have kids, do you?

I know this topic has been covered before, but I have and idea that I know I'm going to cop a lot of flak for, anyhow here goes:_ I agree that screaming babies are the worst - and parents develop a special sort of deafness that makes them not seem to hear it whenever it would be inconvenient for them - but I've been through this fight on r.t.a. before and I lost! The solution is earplugs or headphones for you, not a muffler for the kid. Although frankly, the thought of duct tape, cling wrap, and cargo holds for crying babies make me smile a bit inside... Bwahahahaha! BTW, parents who are immune to babies piercing screams are also often not able to SMELL the little pooper's special qualities, either. Only the rest of the plane is aware of Junior's lumpy surprise. Best Regards, Bill Mattocks |
