My last experience was an SFO-CDG over the holidays. An entire family of six was occupying just about half of the first class cabin. Sitting right behind me was an infant (barely two ears old) in the suite.
He screamed the entire way. The mother had absolutely no interest in quieting the kid down. I turned my head back a few times and gave her the look of death but it did not seem to do anything.

People have a right to have kids. No one forced them to. I also have a right to a quiet ride (whether I pay first class or coach is not even the issue).

Screaming kids are about as problematic as cigarette smoke, and I wish airlines did something about it.
