Traveling with children on public transportation often leads to parents facing unreasonable judgments from others. Parents are entitled to occupy public spaces, including planes, alongside their children, who are equally human beings deserving of such access. Public attitudes may reflect a sense of entitlement to a child-free experience, ignoring the reality that families have the right to travel. Supportive voices, such as Emma Hughes, emphasize the importance of understanding that children are part of society and that adult behavior should also reflect maturity and empathy towards families traveling with younger members.
"I am quite literally begging us to stop normalizing this. If you are bothered by babies and kids on planes, you can just remember that you are entitled to a child-free life; you are not entitled to a child-free world."
"Babies and kids are people, too. They're human beings and, as human beings, they have just as much of a right to be in public spaces as any other member of the public."
"Moms already have enough on their plates. They don't need any more. Unfortunately, we have an epidemic of grown adults who act like children."
"If you as an adult can't act like an adult then I do not see from what grounds you think you have the right to expect a child to act like an adult."
