I remember when my brain flipped from being upset about it to feeling sorry for the parents. It was like after I graduated school and I was like, "wow, those parents can put up with so much"

Anybody that gets upset about this can buy ear plugs and eye masks and stuff. Shits dirt cheap and useful when you're traveling in general in case your hotel or friends place or whatever has issues. I get upset too but like, I don't know what trip they're going on for whatever reason... for all I know it's a death in their family and they can't leave the kid alone ... I prefer to think the best of it and prepare that way.

    I don't get upset about the baby crying. That's just a baby being a baby.

    What I get upset about is when the parent yells at the baby for crying. As if that would do anything other than make the baby cry harder. Maybe they think it'll show the passengers that they're trying to do something? It only shows that they have no emotional intelligence and are probably not stable enough to raise a child. Especially when the yelling is accompanied by shaking.

    Yes, I've seen it. On a plane.
