Because my kids don't always behave in public. I'm saying they are not perfect. The fact is: Kids will be kids, they have their own little minds and sometimes they might do things that you don't want them to when you least expect it.
no one on this thread has said that isn't true, or that the same hasn't been true in their case. but if you haven't come across the parents that allow their children to have control then you are lucky. because there are tons of them, and it is a disturbing trend. and that is what is being discussed, not the random fit that our kids might have thrown. if properly dealt with, that fit is a learning tool. the problem is that with the parents in question the only thing taught is that the kids are in charge. and they learn that lesson quickly.

Bingo! That's what makes parenthood so interesting. NOTHING EVER goes as planned :)
