Just Curious - Screaming Baby In 1St Class
Am on a Virgin train right now and am sat in 1st class. Very posh lol - all China and cutlery lol ( it was booked as a surprise). There is a family also in this carriage with a screaming baby who hasn't stopped. It doesn't bother me as I have grandchildren but everyone looks most annoyed and keep tutting. Just wondered your thoughts as they are all clearly miffed at paying for 1st class and can't hear themselves think lol.

"What do you suggest new judge and baldric? Should mother stay at home with baby playing house and not travel until the child learns to doff his cap at his elders?"
Not until he's learnt to doff his cap, but until he's learnt to be quiet (hence the age limit). Though a possible solution exists for train travel as I pointed out earlier.

“NJ - how do children learn things if they can't experience them?”
“I agree unmmm children whilst learning boundaries also need to be allowed to stretch and learn by making mistakes.”
“When a baby can't talk their only way of communicating is through crying.”
Couldn’t agree more with any of the above. But screaming babies should not be permitted on long distance travel where their fellow travellers cannot escape it. (I’m not talking about a five minute bus ride to the shops). There’s scarcely few circumstances where young children must be taken on such long journeys. It’s usually that the parents want to go, not that they need to go. It’s simply not fair to impose such a din on others in confined spaces. They most certainly should not be permitted in premium cabins or coaches where passengers have paid (often very much) over the odds for a bit of extra comfort and peace. Of course all parents love their children and think the world revolves around them. Alas not everybody is so enamoured.
“And be glad you aren't stuck with the screaming children in Aleppo.”
Yes I am. But that’s hardly relevant here.

You should have tried travelling with my father when he was long-distance-train commuting regularly. He would sit down, close his eyes ( like all the other men. Almost all men in those days) And he'd start making a noise like the world coming to an end. That man could snore for Britain in the Snoring Olympics. He always woke everyone else in the carriage. If looks could kill ! They were all furious, but helpless. Nobody ever did anything about it. Well, there wasn't anything they could do, was there. If he ever woke, he'd go straight back to sleep and make an even worse noise, if that was possible.
