The parents are to blame. So many parents have the excuse "kids will be kids and I can't be expected to watch them at all times". Personally, I think the excuse is lame. As a parent, it's your JOB to keep your eye on your children until they turn 18 years of age. Don't have children if you're not up for the challenge.
I went to my cousin's wedding 2 months ago. My dad's cousin brought her two toddlers. One of them threw a temper tantrum during the ceremony (and she neglected to remove her child from the room when this happened). During the reception, her kids were running around and constantly bumping into people. This is why kids under the age of 8 are not welcome at my wedding.
*This is coming from a girl who had parents that watched her like a hawk. I was not allowed to leave their side if we went shopping or pretty much anywhere. If I did act up, my parents grabbed me by the hand, brought me to the car and proceeded to give me a big ol' swat on the butt.
