No, mothers don’t have to be sorry about having a crying baby on a plane

Be careful, he will rush into strollers. A few days ago, a young internet user posted on TikTok a video of her face cam suffering a baby crying on a plane. In the caption of the video, she writes: why are there no adult-only flights? I could pay so much for that! “

The reactions are not long in coming in the comments, from those who totally share his opinion, but also from those who protest against his video, defending the parents of the crying child, who suffer equally.

And I’m sorry, but in Daronne we are on the bold side of the force. Let’s stop the delusion for a second, if you don’t mind.

Children cry, I’m sorry I’m not sorry

In the video in question, fortunately, the person filming does not show what parents are used to seeing as soon as they are in a public space with a child who has the audacity to cry, that is the looks of other users, the sighs that feel very strong, the reflexes just whispered by those who will have to bear the cry of a child they do not know.

Only his last smile reflects his state of mind: poor fellow, he hears a lot of noise on the plane when he hasn’t asked for anything. Yes N.

Let me be clear: none, I mean NOBODY likes to hear a baby cry. It is tiring, exhausting, stressful and irritating.

Of course, no one wants to put up with the decibels of a child who cannot be calmed. Also, as a parent, you don’t choose when your child will cry or where it will happen. And you know what it is more stressful for a parent Who has a crying baby on a plane or train trip? Those who judge them.

Those who stress the most when hearing the baby cry are not the other users, they are the parents, or rather, let’s stop hiding our faces, mothers.

Joy of patriarchal society, which means that more often than not, mothers still take care of the children, they are the ones who take full advantage of it the sidelong glances as soon as they get on a train with a child in her armsthey are the ones who get stressed on the plane hearing the sighs of other users as their child tests the power of his voice.

But whether you like it or not, children are part of societyand asking them to be excluded is really problematic.

Yes, we may not appreciate the presence of children. You may not want it yourself, you may also want to take a quiet trip. All this is heard and understood. But we don’t always have what we want in life, and subjecting our dissatisfaction to a mother who is already struggling enough is not neither human, nor normal, nor understandable.

Mothers don’t have to be sorry because their baby is crying. Mothers don’t have to apologize for having a baby, mothers don’t have to being marginalized by society because they have given birth. Nor should they, as I have already read for example, offer earplugs to aircraft users to apologize in advance for the noise their baby will make.

Society must adapt to mothers and not vice versa. An airplane is nothing more than a flying bus. If you want to feel comfortable, take a private jet.

A baby doesn’t have an off button, doesn’t stop crying because someone kindly asks, doesn’t have cognitive skills.

If you want to be a little bit good and ask yourself what you can do to help a mother, then another human being than you, have fun, you can help her best help out while you entertain the crying baby – interacting with an unfamiliar person can often calm a child down very quickly – or, if you don’t want to do anything because you don’t feel comfortable with children – that’s okay, you can at least send a sympathetic smile to the one who, I remind you, is even more stressed than you to suffer this situation.

As for the person in the TikTok video, who plays the victim and who suffers from the crying of a baby, she is the sad representation of a break in the present societyof the one who asks that mothers be put aside as soon as they give birth.

Do not forget that when children are asked to be silentwhich I am not able to do before a certain age, also ask the mother to exclude herself and to shut up.

No, mothers shouldn’t be on a separate flight or separate train to travel, no, they shouldn’t breastfeed hidden or in a dedicated space, no, they shouldn’t offer earplugs to passengers during transport. Moms are part of society, even babies will have to take a deep breath through the belly and face it.
