That day, I had to board the plane with my two-month-old son. My husband was in another city, and we were flying to him together. I had no other help ā no relatives or friends nearby. The six-hour flight felt like an eternity.
My baby, usually calm and quiet, was irritated that day ā maybe because of the pressure, the noise, or simply tiredness. He cried often, couldnāt sleep, and I held on with all my strength not to cry along with him.
When the flight attendant brought the meal, I couldnāt even think about eating properly. The baby was in my arms the whole time ā feeding, diaper changes, attempts to soothe him to sleep.
This is my routine. Iām not complaining. But this time, a man in a suit sat next to me ā it was clear he was traveling on important business. He looked tired, irritated, sighed heavily, gave us sideways glances, and muttered to himself. I felt worse and worse. I couldnāt even look at him without feeling guilty. I knew he was barely holding back from yelling at me.
I held on until the man looked at me and said something that left me in shock for a while š²š²

ā Give me the baby. Iāll hold him, and you try to get some sleep.
I was stunned.
