    I DROVE across Canada rather than dare take a plane with a possibility of screaming and kicking children. Sensory issues are a bitch.

      Sometimes plane travel can’t be helped, and little children can be loud and obnoxious. I feel for those around me, but as a parent we have to endure this far longer than anyone else. It’s not like we like the noise either.

          “Conflating the two is ableist and insulting.”

          I think the auto-reply should be an audible sigh and a “just shut the fuck up”. But hey, you tell me how you thought this would go?

          So now I need to conform to some dead-end 20 something because they can’t be bothered to bring headphones on a plane?

          Like I wasn’t an adult without kids at some point who had to fly with crying babies on board.
