Flying Babies

I am always very unfortunate when I fly. Ever since I downgraded to economy class, it's either I am squished between two heavier people or I am seated to a very chatty person, who would not stop talking to me and my personal favorite: crying babies/children. One angry baby is enough to ruin everyones flight and after hearing it cry for over 8 hours, it really makes you go crazy. So, imagine a full flight of families with their younglings. God! A circus right? I might as well be placed in a mental institution after. 

My recent flight to Europe was exactly like that circus and I felt hopeless. This is really not the first time, I was seated next to a crying baby/child and I did come prepared, but you do have to survive the take off and landing with no electronics. This means 10 minutes of constant high pitch crying and yelling right next to your ear. Pleeeeaaassseee, take me off this plane, RIGHT NOW!!! 

By the time, I was allowed to play my music, I had a sour expression on my face and my head was hurting. The steward even asked me TWICE whether I was okay and he even offered me earplugs. I survived the flight, but my nerves are shattered and my back in pain (my seat would not decline to sleeping position, so I felt very uncomfortable.) 

After spending what it seemed like an eternity with those children, it really makes me not want any in future. I guess, my friends are out of luck. Their prediction of me having 8 kids will mostly definitely not come true.
