I am overly cautious about making sure my kids are not a nuisance in public. I make my my kids apologize (and I apologize myself) when they have bothered somebody. That said, I am amused at the seemingly growing portion of society that seems to have a mindset that the world is for the childless and that those with the gall to be parents had better make their kids all but invisible in public or to keep them out of it altogether.
