I think there's a big difference between kids who are scared or cry during take-off and landing because their ears are popping and kids that are just plain misbehaving. I have a lot of ear/inner ear problems, get a lot of ear infections, and whatnot, so when the plane is taking off/landing I feel like screaming, too.

It's when the plane is in flight or somehow stationary that misbehaving kids bug me. There was a huge group of kids from toddlers to teenagers on the flight back from Paris when my dad and I went last and it was AWFUL. Every single one of those kids was a loud, annoying jerk of a kid. They also left trash all over the seats and floor. I might have been able to excuse the younger kids but the teenagers were just as bad, maybe even worse! It was disappointing because our flight to Paris was actually pretty relaxing (gotta love those overnight flights!). The fact that we were trapped with them for almost 8 hours just made things worse.

There's a big difference between that and the toddler that cried twice on a flight, once during take off, and once during landing.
