Always a tricky situation.

The key to this is not the kids, it's the adults.

As a parent you need to be aware of your surroundings.

If your child is disturbing others you can't just shrug and say it's a baby, what am I gonna do?

Most people are fine with a noisy baby, they understand, other people can't tolerate it and they should not have to either.

I find what irritates people most is if the kids are simply being ignored. If the parent is trying to control the situation they get sympathy from the others who have all been there.

Perspective is weird, there have been times that I thought my kids were being animals and some old couple next to me would comment on how well behaved they were.
