Currently travelling on intercity train. Behind me there is a young child and an adult. Can't see them but from their voices I imagine child to be about 3-4 and adult to be grandmother. Child is at times slightly wingy and at other times singing to them self but every time there is one noise from the child the grandparent is telling them to shut up as 'the whole train doesn't want to listen to you ', yet the grandmother's voice is louder than the child's.
I just feel it is unrealistic to expect a young child to be silent for 2 hours, and surely she would be better trying to engage the child in a game or something rather than just telling them to be quiet and go to sleep!

AIBU?
To think it's unreasonable to expect a child to be completely silent on a train?
