I find it rather rude to assume that if someone doesn't have kids, they should either be patient and understanding OR they should be prepared to be considered a fuddy duddy. Why not just take care of your child's needs and not assume that everyone else is happy with your choice in child rearing?
Frankly, both my partner and I are VERY understanding and patient, particularly with kids. For crying out loud, if we weren't, we wouldn't be going to Disney World! And Joe is a teacher! But to abuse my patience and understanding and stretch it to the point of snapping is just plain rude.
To the OP, I think it's pretty awesome that you are considerate enough to even put your question out there. To those others that think I should either be happy to deal with hearing Elmo screech in his hyper irritating voice OR deal with the consequences, i.e. your child raising a very loud fuss, you definitley need to know that there are others on that plain, not just you and your child. Someone on here said as much in terms that others should deal with the circumstances because THEY aren't the only ones on the plane and it's public transportation. Same goes for you. It's really that simple.
Oh, and if I were to hear you read a book to your kid, well, I'd think it was pretty darn cute and I'd probably eaves drop.
Nevertheless, someone pass me some Xanax please. I think it's behind the martini shaker and tranquilizer gun.
