Putting kids on pedestals does them no favors. They grow up arrogant, narcissistic and boorishly unbearable to be around. Kids are NOT equal to adults.
There we go. Those are the feelings I was referring to.
I think it's disingenious at best and downright ignorant at worst to say that kids turn out X because we disagree with a parenting philosophy. Quite frankly, there are kids that are bad and good from EVERY type of family imaginable.
But WHY should my kids, who were there first, have to listen to a total stranger? Because she is an adult? Sorry, that old fashioned thing doesn't fly with me.
Actually, since my children would be acting in an age appropriate manner in an acceptable place, the OP would be picking the fight, not the kids. Big NO.

You answer your own question. Children are children, adults are adults. If we are all the same, we would call everybody adults.
If your children equalled adults, their AGE APPROPRIATE MANNER would be as that of an adult.
New Flash - Children will act like children. It is not unusual for kids to try to have fun. A suggestion would be to be more tolerant. By and large, kids today behave as well, or as badly, as kids always have behaved.
Absentee "parents" think lame excuses are an acceptable substitute for parenting.
If you allow your kid to grow up believing he has the perfect right to make himself a nuisance to strangers, one day your kid is going to run into the wrong kind of person, inflict this snotty attitude-- and your kid will end up in jail, hospital or morgue. And it will be nobody's fault but yours.

Yet it's ok for a grown adult to believe they have the perfect right to tell perfect strangers what to do.
In this case it means that the child has no business picking a fight with the OP over a couple of words. It does not empower the child.
