First off, I think you're thinking of out of control toddlers and older children, children capable of "throwing milk and kicking seats". Yes, parents not reigning them in on flights can be annoying. But infants and babies aren't crying to annoy you. Perhaps there ears hurt, perhaps they're off their schedules or they just have to cry like babies sometimes do..When I hear babies cry on planes, I don't get mad, I just feel sorry for the parents because not only do they have to try and quiet down the baby, but most likely they feel bad for making people like you upset..Oh, and if I have a choice of sitting next to a colicky baby or a drunk guy on his way to Vegas, I'll take the baby..

I agree with that as well.
