We can all imagine the situation, you eventually get onto your flight and find your seat, perhaps take-off has been delayed by fog, but you're finally there.
You settle yourself down after stowing the overheard luggage, and all of a sudden you hear the unmistakeable sound of a crying baby. It's not what anybody wants, but it's likely that the parents are far more aware of it than you are.
It's hard to know whether to offer to help, or to simply try your best to ignore it and complain to yourself.

One Redditor mum recounted her experience on a flight, where a "brutally honest" comment from a fellow travelling parent cheered her up after a somewhat chaotic flight.
She said she was flying with her five-month-old baby for the very first this week, and on the way there she said she didn't hear a peep from her little girl, even adding that she 'smiled for every passenger' and was passed around by the flight attendants "for giggles" she said in her original post.
Unfortunately, "she learned how to screech on vacation and was constipated for the flight back", reports the Mirror.
"Needless to say, she screeched while she pooped the entire three hour plane ride. She was honestly not that bad, but I was a wreck. When we were putting our car seat/stroller together I said to my husband, 'Yup, we’re definitely one and done!'
"A man gathering car seats for two children (probably two and five) next to us chimed in to say, 'Yeah that’s a great idea.' And looked at his youngest daughter and jokingly said 'Just kidding, Nora. You’re great!'
"I looked at his wife and she was in total agreeance. I was stressed, but they looked MISERABLE. We all laughed and I loved his honesty instead of the typical ‘misery loves company’ statements."
Several other Redditors joined in the light-hearted conversation on the r/oneanddone subreddit, with some thanking the original poster for sharing her story, and others relating to it.
