Without wanting to get into this pissing match, I have to agree that a 2-year old is not aware of much and will not remember much. I have an unbelievable early childhood memory, (I can remember specific events from ~2 y.o. when many aquaintences remember
nothing), of course all 2 year olds are not alike and some probably travel better than others. Most people plan around how much ass pain will be involved in dragging the kid here or there, not what the 2 y.o. will appreciate.
2 year olds appreciate being doted on by parents, fed and having frequent oil and filter changes. Some like seeing a furry dog on the street and ice cream. Also, there are inappropriate places to subject others to a screaming baby, (the parents would be the ass-wholes in this situation), but most tourist destinations are obnoxious enough to start with so no foul. Plus, you have to expect kids at any "family type" place.
There is a miserable SOB in my building who complains loudly whenever kids are splashing and having fun in the pool below our window, (a pleasant sound if you ask me), he is way out of line. I told him that he needs to move to a retirement home. he didn't like that, since he's younger than me. (40-something). Like Singpilot said, there are boundaries in society that most people understand but some don't get. It goes both ways w/ people accepting children and parents being considerate. Hope that you have a great trip!
