You flew by yourself, without taking care of a child, and you're surprised it's easier? Everything is easier without a kid. Your parents flew all over the place before you arrived. Planes weren't invented when you were born.

Nah they would get freaked out by the smallest inconvenience and just getting to the gate was an odyssey for them somehow. With my own kids I've got plenty of things I look back on and go "oh yeah I understand why my parents did that now" but also plenty of things where its 100% "how the heck was this such a challenge for my parents to handle?"
