I have a problem with parents who don't teach their kids how to behave, because while I'm trying my hardest teaching mine manners and how to behave in public, and she sees other kids running around like nutjobs she wants to know why she can't do that too. And making comments such as "Well, those children's parents let them behave like animals" WILL backfire, because I know my child WILL repeat that loudly at an extremely inopportune time.
