Lookin' i completely understand your thinking on this.

I felt the same for many years. Wondered what kind of awful parents would have a kid acting like that.

But man when you have kids i promise you even the best intentions and plans become compromised and you have no choice but to roll with it. I think the best way to explain it is that kids are human beings such that everything you do/say has a consequence...some unintended. I don't mean to say i'm a wuss about disciplining my child, far from it, but i have learned that while being the 'buddy parent' will get you in trouble so will trying to be the drill seargant parent.

I do strongly feel when kids are being horrible in public they should be removed from the situation but then again....well you'll see when/if you have kids.
