Parents who came prepared and literally packed everything they own.

Change of clothes for the baby? Check. Change of clothes for the adults for when the baby's diaper explosion almost certainly ends up on them? Check. This family has it all packed with them, and some. They have absolutely no leg room, but at least they have formula for a week.

Some parents don't have any extra time to waste, so when Bob the newbie shows up, who hasn't flown in 20 years and is trying to bring on his full-size bottle of shampoo, people get fed up.

There's always that one family who has taught their kids to wheel their own suitcase and carry their own shit. They're first in line and everyone's on time.

Dad's just realized he packed the extra diapers and can't access them until the flight is over. This is quite possibly a horrible situation, for everyone on the plane!

They're just sitting at the gate, chewing bubble gum and reading a YA book they picked up in the gift shop; meanwhile, the other parent is dealing with the kids.

All the family needed to do was make their connection flight to Kansas City, but their flight was delayed, again. One partner absolutely loses it, while the other one laughs — sweetly — at their partner's frustration.

She rolled up on the plane in her sweats, sunglasses on and not giving a f*ck. She's flying without her family today and doesn't have a care in the world. Delays? Sure. An airplane sans kids means she can sleep.

Somehow filling up Ziploc baggies of candies and earplugs ahead of time to distribute to nearby seatmates apologizing for having a baby on board became a thing, and it makes you look terrible if you're traveling with a kid and didn't come prepared with apology snacks.
