    You feel like a major inconvenience because you are, as a direct consequence of choosing to fly with your infant despite the likely consequences for others.

        Then you shouldn’t take the trip. It’s a sacrifice you’re expected to make to uphold the social contract when your children are young.

          What if my mom, who lives on the east coast, and hours by plane away, died suddenly and I’m unable to find a sitter?

          What if the situation was reversed: the people who took planes were predominantly those with kids, and you needed to go somewhere?

          What if someone imposed a 5 year travel ban on you?

            You stay home.

            Kids aren’t a problem. It’s screaming infants.

            It was 10 years. I served 9. Now what?
