Nobody likes it when a baby cries in public.
I mean, the people around definitely wants the baby to stop.
The baby’s mother is probably flustered and wants to soothe her poor baby to stop her from crying as soon as possible.
And well, the baby most likely doesn’t want to cry, but a baby is a baby and that’s what they do.
While most people are usually understanding when a baby cries in a public place, this couple on the plane, who was recorded telling a mother to do something about her crying baby, was not empathetic at all.
Well, two can play at that game.
The mother of the child, clearly angered by the passenger’s rudeness, shouted back at the couple telling them that they have no morals and that they should never have children.
She then added that if they were both so great, then maybe they should just not have kids for the rest of their lives.
The flight was a five-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur and it was headed to Wuhan. The lights had apparently already been dimmed when the baby started the crying loudly.
In the same video, the mother then explains that it was already very difficult trying to calm her baby down and the comments from the couple just made things a lot harder.
It wasn’t like she wasn’t trying, so she just felt irritated that this was something out of her control.
Mixed Reactions
Some felt that the mother definitely went too far by shouting at the couple while some people thought that the couple was in the wrong for even saying anything in the first place since parenting was hard enough.
Travelling is already stressful enough on its own and to have to cope with a crying baby must be difficult for the mother.
This is not to say that the mother was right to scream at the couple, but in a shared space like the small confines of the place, perhaps we should all be a little more considerate towards one another.
Some Flights Implementing Child-Free-Zones
It can sometimes be impossible to get a little shut-eye, especially if there are screaming babies on board.
I imagine that the frustration goes both ways, and so, at least one airline, IndiGo announced that it’ll allocate “Quiet Zones” where children under 12-years-old aren’t allowed to sit.
These seats are meant for business travellers who would like to use that time to get some work done.
Pretty ingenious, I’d say. That way, incidences like these can be avoided altogether.
But of course, you need to be rich enough to buy a business class ticket lah.
Here’s a simplified summary of the South Korea martial law that even a 5-year-old would understand:
