The only person in that situation being rude is the seat kicker. Children don't travel well, but you can't get mad at the parent. Especially for international travel, it's usually the only option. I'm pretty sure I can't get a boat from the US to Europe anymore, and even if I could, a multi-week journey isn't really feasible.

So yeah, when the kid is screaming I feel bad and I try to take him to the galley, but there is only so much standing in the galley you can do.

And I'm definitely reclining my seat on an 11 hour flight.

You can - and it's about 6~7 days. Still not feasible, but certainly not multi-week.

7 days each way. ie. multi-week round trip.

That would be true. But like the commenter recommending an HNL two/three day break between LAX and somewhere in AUS, if I don't have to there tomorrow, I am otherwise required to be here. (For arbitrary values of here and there).
