While I am 50...not quite ready for the retirement home...my husband and I just learned how to aviod them over the past few years...we chose restaurants,movies.beaches etc that attract the least kids...now if you are a school teacher or bus driver that would be a problem...but on rare occasions on an airplane I getted seated next to a screaming mimi...I try to think back to how I would feel(helpless)stuck on a plane with an unhappy toddler...put yourself in the mom's place...
Sometimes I do put myself in the mom's place, and I wonder why the heck she doesn't take the screaming kid outside. Now, obviously this is not possible in an airplane, but in a restaurant? Movie theater? During the movie at a national monument (where parents were specifically asked to NOT let their kids make noise)? I'm thinking that's possible, yet so many have the attitude that everyone else should just deal with it. Sorry, in my book that is not okay and worthy of resentment.
The "resentment" sic stems from this notion that mothers and their childrens mentality that the world revolves around them. Your defense and attitide is prime example of it.
You are either intentionally come here and post such things to provoke reactions (which is a form of trolling) or you don't get it at all.
I don't think there are many mothers out there that have some huge sense of entitlement as you make it seem...sure there are some but most mom's want to dig a hole and die in it when their kid acts up in public!!!I guess we have different versions of reality...shocking I know!!! Really I know you enjoy talking down to me and I really don't take any offense to it... We can agree to disagree

Bolded is an incredibly oblivious statement.
Gee, when I acted up my parents dealt with it. It was deserved, it was swift and it was decisive.
Daffy Duck was on vacation. He was staying a decent four star motel. He brought this woman back to his room. He forgot to pack condoms. So Daffy called down to the front desk.
The front desk was accomodating and promised prompt service. The front desk asked "should we put this on your bill?"
Daffy became indignant. He fired back "are you thucking stupid? I will suffocate!"
