    Why do you need to fly for vacation? When did flying for vacation become mandatory?

      It’s not. But it’s much easier to deal with kids on a 2hr flight than it is to deal with them on a multiple day drive. And just because I have kids doesn’t mean I have to choose the more difficult option. I say this as a parent who has driven across the country with my kids, multiple times.

        “I’ll make everyone’s flight miserable because I don’t want to experience the bad consequences of my choices”

        And just because I have kids doesn’t mean I have to choose the more difficult option.

        you did choose the more difficult option the moment you chose to have children. having children comes with inconveniences and because that’s your choice to have children you have to deal with the consequences, not others

          Lmao yes, I have to make my life more difficult because I chose to have kids. That makes perfect sense.

            ‘your choices, your consequences’

            not ‘your choices, everyone else’s consqeuences’

            it isn’t that hard to understand is it? your entitlement is insane

              Lmao dude. Get off your high horse. Your comfort doesn’t trump mine and vice versa. If anyone is entitled here, it’s you, believing that parents have to always go out of their way to make sure everyone else is comfortable just because they have kids and you don’t.

                parents have child => parents are inconvinienced by child => others who have nothing to do with parents and their child should be inconvenienced instead of the parents

                following your logic, complete strangers should have to pay the kindergarten for your child. after all just because you chose to have children doesn’t mean that you have to be inconvenienced (by paying money for it) and others don’t, right?

                  First of all dipshit, you do pay for kindergarten. Via taxes. What are you, 12?

                  Like I said, my comfort doesn’t trump yours and your comfort doesn’t trump mine. Either deal with the fact that kids will be on flights or stop flying. Or become a member of congress and try to pass a law barring kids from planes.

                    of course tax money is used to pay for kindergarten too but at least in my country you pay something like 15 euros per day yourself

                    also, I could’ve said babysitter too. or clothes. or food. or something else, it doesn’t matter. my point still stands

                    Like I said, my comfort doesn’t trump yours and your comfort doesn’t trump mine. Either deal with the fact that kids will be on flights or stop flying.

                    Like I said, your choice your discomfort and my chioce my discomfort. Either deal with the fact that cartain choices have consequences or make different choices

                    seriously tho, you’re making your self-made problem everyone else’s

                    that’s like me burning my car and saying “yeah I made the choice to burn my car and I knew of the consequences, but why should only I have to pay for the damage and not others as well? their comfort doesn’t trump mine”
