I was thinking... what's the acceptable level of pain we can put children through when travelling? If kids suffer during flights, why is it OK to fly with them? Because it's convenient?
You know that pressure changes in an air plane are painful for children?
They're painful for babies. You can teach a child how to pop their ears. We all learned at some point.
Aren't babies children?
Not all children are babies. Saying "it hurts human ears" would also be correct, but disingenuous.
This type of nitpicking is what I'm looking for in a good internet discussion. Thanks.
