I agree, kids should be well behaved at all times, however, my neighbors, all adults sometimes play football in the road and drivers have to wait for the play to finish before they move to the side and let traffic pass.

Kids are not the only ones being rude on multi-use paths. I have had plenty of rude adults blocking the path, veering into my way and failing to yield the right of way.

The grocery store thing I just don't get. On the one hand I think grocery shopping with my daughters is a great time to teach them about nutrition and often have them searching for the bread with out high fructose corn syrup. Because I won't by "junk" there is a fair amount of whining however, the first time my daughter went into full melt down at the store I immediately brought her home with out my purchases and do not understand why parents don't so something about their screaming, crying kids in stores and (my favorite for kids behaving badly) restaurants. A little action on the part of the parents now could save everyone huge hassles in the future.

I just have to say that no matter how well or badly behaved children are they are human and nothing like raising pets.
