As if every kid is the same? There's no bad kids, only bad parents. You make it sound as if every kid throws tantrums at grocery stores. They're loud, you tell them to be quiet. Yes, there are defiant children who just to spite you will be loud. If they are, then they will be punished. But to think EVERY kid is a spiteful brat, is more than a little thickheaded and ignorant.

Indeed. I was terrified of my dad growing up. He was never physical. He was so big, he could just look at you and you'd be put in your place.
