On the plane, a man in a suit yelled at me because my six-month-old baby was crying: but suddenly, a fellow passenger stepped in and did something unexpected π¨π¨
I was flying with my six-month-old son. Sometimes mothers also have to leave the house β to the store, to the clinic, and even on a plane. But as soon as youβre in a public place, everyone starts giving you judgmental looks, as if itβs only your fault when the baby cries. Yet heβs just a baby, he doesnβt understand anything.
A similar situation happened during our flight. For three hours my son couldnβt calm down: he didnβt want to sleep, cried, fidgeted.
I tried rocking him, singing, giving him a toy β but nothing worked. Passengers turned around, glanced at us, sighed. And I sat there with a stone in my chest: what could I do?
The worst part was that next to me sat a man in a formal suit. He kept throwing dissatisfied looks in my direction. At some point, he snapped, turned sharply, and hissed:
β Canβt you finally quiet this monster down? Let people rest!
I answered, confused:
β Heβs a baby, what can I do? He doesnβt understand yet.
β I donβt care about your baby, I want to sleep, β he snapped angrily and began throwing even more unpleasant words at me.
My hands were shaking, my breathing became heavy, I could barely keep myself together. I felt like I was about to faint right there.
Suddenly the flight attendant came over. Calmly and politely she addressed the man:
β Sir, may I offer you headphones?
β I donβt need headphones, β he exploded. β I need you to shut this baby up!
And then something unexpected happened. One of the passengers, a big man with a beard and a stern look, rose from his seat. He looked closely at us, as if he also wanted to say something about my child, but then he did something surprising π’π«£ Watch: [in comment] – Made with AI
