Were you forced to have kids at gunpoint?

Logical solution to this is to wait until your kid grows up a little bit and stops crying for no fucking reason. You can still travel with your toddler if you really want to, but use your own car. I don't get the reason to take a kid this young, to travel with you, since he's not going to remember anything anyway

Yes I’ll just load my kids up into the car and drive across the fucking ocean to see my family.

[–] scubbo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because, as we all know, the only way of travelling across the ocean is by plane.

It won't kill you to not go to Norway for a couple of years

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I live in Norway. But sometimes it's nice to leave for a few weeks.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is also nice to not be on a plane with crying kids.

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago

So buy your own plane...

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

That would solve a lot of problems... You should get on that.

Are you forced to take a plane at gunpoint?

Logical solution to this is to use your own means of transportation in order to be sure to be alone if you don't like children. You can still take a plane if you really want to, but use your own plane. I don't get the reason to take public means of transportation, since there will always be other people in them anyway.

Lol, allright let me just sit with my fucking toddler right next to you in a 6 hour flight. I coud've just waiter two years until he's old enough to not cry at random shit to take him to Spain, but fuck ya'll. I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me and my toddler

90% of your profile's comments are in this thread

Either you seriously hate children to a ridiculous degree- in which case you need to see a therapist because this shit ain't healthy- or you're a troll.

I'm going with troll.

[–] MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, because I disagree, I automatically hate children and I'm brain damaged. Very smart argument 👍. And I just started commenting, so of course all of my comments are going to be here, since I'm arguing with you all and your lame ass excusees

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh right I’ll just take one of my many planes that I have just fucking lying around

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was an answer to Mycoolnejm, not to you ^^

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You realise that some people live in places where that isn't possible. I have to drive for about 10 hours to not be in the Arctic anymore.

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I live in Norway. It's my constitutional right to have 5 weeks of paid holiday a year (excluding public holidays) whether or not I have children. Driving isn't viable as it would take several days just to get to a ferry that leaves Norway. Crying children are a part of flying, get used to it.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't mean you have to fly somewhere for a simple holiday.

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I could drive a day and go camping in northern Scandinavia and get eaten alive by mosquitoes the size of sparrow hawks.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you? Then we can find that child a better parent.

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Children* they enjoy their holidays in Spain.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a baby, baby don’t know, baby don’t care. YOU want time in Spain. Ffs

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I fucking hate the sun. If I enjoyed the beach, I wouldn't live in Norway.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

This broke me. You win. Lol. Best answer.

[–] MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can have holidays in the same country that you live you know... Since you have a small child, it would be best to take care of him, instead of flying around in planes

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A couple of hours in a plane is less stressful for a toddler than several days in a car seat I assure you.

[–] MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Probably yeah, but also less stressful would be to plan your exotic seaside resort vacation in two years, when the little spawn of satan is not prone to crying for reasons classified.
