A father sparks an online debate after rocking his daughter’s head for 45 minutes to help her sleep during a flight

These days, it’s not unusual to see people debating various topics on the internet.

It could be argued that it was unavoidable, as gathering millions of people in one location and allowing them the liberty to voice any opinion, no matter how diametrically opposed, would inevitably lead to spirited discussions.

Although contentious images and films are becoming commonplace on the internet, that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth seeing when they occur. We have discussed a lot of these subjects here at Newsner in the past. We thought it would be worthwhile to share the image of a father and his sleeping daughter on an airplane that had garnered a lot of comments.

The argument started when Reddit user u/therra123 posted a picture of a father and daughter cuddling on the r/MadeMeSmile discussion thread.

An image of a girl curled up in her aisle seat on a flight was submitted by the user. Her father had put his palm under her cheek, preventing her from resting her head on the armrest, which, as anyone who has ever used one will tell you, is a rather crude and merciless pillow.

“This man held his hand in this position for 45 minutes so his daughter could sleep well,” says the caption for the image on Reddit.

We have to say at this point that, in our judgment, this is just a father going about his business. Although the message was appropriately dubbed “heartwarming moments,” some Redditors didn’t agree.

The father was harshly criticized for his behavior; some people just said that he should have done a better job.

With thousands of comments and almost 60,000 votes, the post became viral immediately. Reactions included things like:

“I think there must be a better way to handle this.”

“Don’t you have your blanket?” said another. Bringing a blanket is the most crucial item to remember.

“This demonstrates a clear lack of creativity in problem-solving,” said a third person. forty-five minutes and you were unable to come up with a workable answer. Hey!

A fourth person wrote, “Seriously. Simply roll up a hoodie to create an instant pillow. Alternatively, here’s an absurd suggestion: ask a flight attendant for a cushion and blanket.

However, other people showed the father and his gesture more tolerance. Interestingly, we also find ourselves in this category!

How about you? Did you find it inappropriate that the father used this flight to serve as his daughter’s makeshift pillow? Let us know how you feel by leaving a comment.
