A good parent teaches their children to behave in public.

Kids generally like to go grocery shopping and bother though it was
with each of mine there was one day when we walked back to the car and
skipped the groceries. That was the lesson for all time

The other thing I hated was 'I want' so my kids knew that if they once
on a shopping trip whined about wanting something, the outcome was
they got nothing. Good behaviour merited a reward of fifty cents to
spend how they wished at the end of the trip. I think you would
probably have to pay more now, but come to think of it, today mum
would probably advise the child what it should buy!!

I was taught to behave or I else I would not have been allowed to go to
the store. I have no idea why it is such a problem for parents these days.

Someone will surely chime up and say I don't have children. No, I
don't. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: It was a
privilege to be allowed to go to the store with Mom as a kid. We knew
better than to run amok.

Yes, even my grandchildren which I spoil a bit knew how to behave in stores
etc., or it's back to the car in a flash.

Dumping a kid at a day care center (kennel) is zero parenting. I know
people who dump their pets off to be boarded at a kennel several times
a year for weeks at a time, they shouldn't have pets, often their pets
are cared for better at kennels. My cats have never been boarded, not
even once... they get nervous when they see me put my shoes on, and
I've only gone shopping for an hour or less. When I'm mowing they go
from window to window making sure I'm not leaving... I come in about
once an hour to make sure they're okay. These days an awful lot of
people should never have children, and the most inept parents seem to
have the most children/the most feral children.

Thanks to modern moral standards and a generous welfare system, the
people around here who seem to be having the most kids are the young,
unmarried welfare mothers. In the past, girls who accidentally got
pregnant were sent off to live with an aunt. Parents were embarrassed by
the shame of their daughter's immoral and irresponsible behaviour and
tried to hide the indiscretion. These days people have no problem
bragging about their unmarried daughters having a number of children by
different fathers. The fathers are generally not in the picture and the
mothers get to stay home and live on welfare. Great role models for
children.

On the other hand, I've seen horrendous parenting from middle-class and
upper-middle-class parents. They give their kids everything except
discipline, and the result is arrogant entitlement.

That's true in some cases, but I think that the majority of those are
better prepared to deal with the world than those from single parent
families growing up on welfare.

Parents want to be the best friend of their children, not their parents.
If you correct the little brats you may hurt their feeling and they
won't like you.

Probably regarded as 'child abuse' these days...

I never see that kind of behavior at the grocery store. I've also
been watching children in restaurants because it seems to be such a
bone of contention in RFC and it doesn't matter where they are - fast
food, sit down restaurant... they're very well behaved, even infants.

You've been very fortunate. I've not seen a lot of them, but they do
exist. For that matter there are some ill behaved adults too.

That's true too unfortunately.

You have never seen kids behaving badly in grocery stores? Are you going
to start picking nits and limit the observation to grocery stores?

I was talking about restaurants, but it applies to grocery stores too.
Honestly, I don't know where you find your cartoon style lowlife
people, but they don't live here and I haven't seen them when
traveling throughout the USA.

Then you have been extraordinarily lucky, though I can't speak for
fast food joints, never go to them.
