<p>I like kids and haven’t had many issues with them on planes. Well, one, but it was clear that the problem was the parenting, not the kids.</p>
<p>But I can’t say that the one flight where I sat near a shrieking, SCREAMING infant went “faster”. In fact, I thought it would never be over. Poor thing, probably an inner ear problem, but no, that was no fun for anyone. I felt for the Mom; I’ve been in the position of trying to comfort a distressed infant to absolutely no avail. She clearly felt bad for her child and also for those around her. Fortunately everyone seemed to be very understanding. Glad to have it over with by the end, but understanding.</p>
