That's not how it works. You put up with children because society put up with YOU as a child.

Like sure you don't have to give up your seat, you could, it might be nice, but you don't by any means have to. I'm just tired of /c/childfree bullshit like complaining there are children playing outside and it's intruding on their desire for silence.

"There was a baby on three plane" shut the fuck up, sounds like there were two babies in the plane.

    I'm not even saying that I don't like the sound of kids playing outside. I have loud ass kids that live upstairs from me and kids playing outside everyday. Doesn't bother me one but. But if, say, one of the parents came to me and wanted me to move my car out of my spot because their kids wanted to put their basketball hoop there then fuck no.

    Or, in a real life scenario, a parent wanted me to cut off my shit short in a public bathroom because their kid didn't like using the urinal also fuck no. Kids doing kid stuff, riding bikes, climbing trees, getting in a little bit of trouble, shouting outside/inside, getting a little emotional,, etc... I'm all for it.

    Literally no one is saying any of that. The post is about not giving up a thing you literally paid for just to placate a stranger's crying baby (apparently not even at the behest of said stranger, but another unrelated stranger). It is absurd, and your leap of logic to "we all hate to see children playing outside" is just as absurd.

    your choice to have a child doesn't mean I have to give up my comfort, or my anything really

    Yes, like this specific seat I paid for. Or my time or energy even. I do not have to give that up for a stranger's kids. "Putting up with" the fact that kids exist is not the same as being expected to bend over backwards to parent a stranger's child.

    People like you are why "/c/childfree bullshit" exists. You think that "it takes a village" means that if someone mixes their DNA with someone else's, suddenly that is the "Village's" problem and not the parents.
