That is really unfortunate....and it seems to be happening more and more...in all sorts of public places.

I think because there is so much "tolerance" for children these days that any sort of discipline for bad behaviour is a taboo...and when i say discipline i'm not speaking of hitting or spanking....but being removed from the presence of others and spoken to about the behaviour...which is what my parents did...and what i did with my own children.

For sure they are "learning" how to behave in public, so its not a "time out" thing (or whatever method of discipline they use) but rather being taught and told that is not how one behaves in public.

Alot of parents walk around thinking that just because they are "in love" with their kids and think everything they do is amusing and well done...the rest of the world views their kids the same way

I started taking my 2 girls when they were able to sit quietly, and if they couldn't sit I took them home.

After reading your post here...i decided to try a thread on the international forum based on the same thing, just for a "multicultural" view on this....

My my..... its no wonder we have a generation of "unruly" children!!

I checked out the other post, thanks.

How Ironic that you bring this subect up because a man wrote the same thing to our local newspaper. He was disgusted by people laughing and chatting and children running around while the wreaths were being laid. I am with him on that point and he was standing next to a Veteran and noticed the Veteran had one eye on the ervice and one eye on a child playing and laughing so the man asked the Vet if he was annoyed as he was about the disruption an the Vet said "NO, Not at all, that is what we fought for,- to see the happiness and to bring peace to our Country". This is another thought to ponder. Personally , it would drive me crazier than I am. Great thread.

I'm sure if asked at our service the Vets would answer the same because they do love the children.
The child was only 2 years old and didn't know any better. It was the parent who sit and smiled at the child that I thought was disrespectful.

Thanks for everyones input on this

Sad note is, it's not just kids that can be "disrespectful" during cermonies such as Rememberance Cermonies. Here in Surrey B.C. during the Rememberance cermonies at the Surrey Legion, even during the 2 minutes of silence the B.C. Lions continued practicing and had their music FULL BLAST... don't we have a team to be proud of, huh ?

Yes it is...because children learn by example. And as I was saying to Blue on the thread of the same nature in the international forums the answers there is one of the reason we are raising an "unruly" generation of children...
