    I don't see that I would. If my kids were misbehaving and I for some reason didn't notice or was unaware of it, I would be glad they told me. Now I would like to be the one disciplining them unless I gave permission. That's an entirely different story.

    I suppose it depends on the situation. If my child were being totally unruly, hitting, screaming, not using his manners etc. I wouldn't blame someone else for getting annoyed or up set because most likey I too would be annoyed or upset by my childs behaviour. If someone was upset because my child was playing and being loud or running around I might get a little annoyed about that, because I think people in general tend to forget that kids are just that... KIDS. They are learning, exploring, they have tons of energy, and I don't think kids should be forced to be little adults.

    Yes, I do get angry and upset but the good always comes out it the situation. I reminding myself of what is important 'my child' is and not what some else thinks about them. I also prayer about the problems and I usually see why they have a problem with my child's behavior and can then find a way to deal with it.

    If that person has age inappropriate expectations - like expecting a 2 year old to not tantrum - I have a major problem with it. If it reinforces something that I've already discussed with my child - I am thrilled! A child pays attention to other adults besides their parents EVEN BETTER and it lets them know that the world is watching when they are outside their homes - something they need to learn sooner or later.

    It depends. Generally my kids are well behaved, but if they misbehave, I want to know. If I am not there, for example if they are playing at a friend's house, I am OK with letting the adult in charge lay down the law and reprimand my kids, but discipline/punishment is a different story. I prefer to do the disciplining myself.

    Of course, I do get angry when I feel the other parent is wrong. For example, my kids (3 and 5) were at a mall playground one time. I bought them some $1 grab bags that they were not allowed to open until we got to the car but they wanted to stop and play first, so they put their grab bags on top of their shoes (which they had to take off to play). Some barely 1 yr old little boy toddles along and starts playing with my kids' shoes and grab bags. My little one (age 3) came over and takes it from him and says "That's not yours." and the 1 yr old's mother says to her "Stop teasing the baby. Give the bag to your mother to put in her purse."

    WHAT?!

    YOUR baby took MY kids' things and *I* have to hide it? Uh, no, its YOUR job to keep your baby's hands off other peoples' things in public places!

    Depends on many things. Who the person is, what they observed that they had a problem with and most importantly, how they communicate the problem to me or my child.

    no my kids are well behaved so no one ever gets upset with them but if they did I would be angry at that person

    Parents shouldn't be upset about that because they can only blame themselves if their child is ill behaved.
