You see, that's what makes the OP's complaint start to ring hollow since there is so much over exaggeration.

I was part of a J cabin that worked together with a single parent so we could all get sleep/quiet on YYZ-HKG. We took turns walking the crying infant so that the father could rest while the preschooler slept. One of the passengers succeeded in getting the baby to sleep so settled into his suite, still holding the baby until the father awoke. (This was just one leg of a very long day for the father so he needed to rest and was obviously beyond being able to relax enough himself, to let the baby relax to go to sleep.) Three pax and crew worked together to help. You see, if the baby was crying, I knew I couldn't rest at all, so therefore, it was in my best interests to help the parent, rather than stew in my seat.
