I've been there, Trev. I hate the parents who do the "MY child would never behave like that!" looks. I always want to say "oh, I know your child would never do that. But see, I *don't* beat my kids, so they're not afraid of me."
I had a child who took a shot at the "public tantrum to embarrass Mommy and get what I want" bit. All she got was raised eyebrow and a calm "now, do you *really* think that's going to work?" She felt a little stupid on the floor and got up.
People who have kids - and are honest with their memories - understand.
People who don't have kids, or who choose to pretend *their* children are perfect...won't.
Never go into a crowded WalMart around Christmas. They're thinking of using that as an alternative to overcrowded prisons. Commit a crime, and do the time...at WalMart during the Christmas rush.
