    If I can keep my rabid autistic toddler from kicking the seat, other parents can too. You don’t just lift your shoulders and say “kids, right?”. No, that’s your kid and your problem.

    That’s what crop dusting is for. Aim your ass into the little crack between the seat and window and let it rip. Stand up and eat a candy bar in their face. Bring your portable nintendos and steam deck and play that shit where they can see while they are back in their seat playing with a stuffed animal. Play with the seat, up down. Wait until they have a drink to fuck with the seat and try to spill it on them. Emotional torture goes both ways. Stay petty, friends.

    I honestly don’t mind kids on planes except when their parents don’t give a shit how they behave. If they are at least putting some effort in having their kids behave, I totally understand. It’s the ones who let their awful kids go unchecked to become awful adults that drive me insane.

      I’ve often seen kids throwing tantrums in public, and the parents (feeling embarrassed) immediately resort to appeasement. Whenever you give a screaming child something that makes them happy, they learn that screaming more often will get them what they want.

      And they will inevitably cause situations in which the kid can never get what they want, but they still believe screaming hard enough works, resulting in an indefinite tantrum. Bad parenting will definitely snowball if you’re not careful.

        Let’s see what requirement in parenting skills/knowledge are in order to have kids.

        Requirements to have children:

        1. Functional gonads.

        2. P in V sex.

        3. Not quite 10 months incubation time. (Yeah the 9 months is a lie got repeated several times the last few weeks before delivery by my wife).

        Welp that sums it up: No parenting skills or knowledge required.

    I thought the picture was a washing machine at first glance and I just assumed that the longest drum solo was going to be when some one dropped a brick into a washing machine
