I Let My Little Kids Run Wild in Public. Join Me!

We’ve all gotten a little bit too afraid to let children be children.

Not a parent but I read this and have my personal opinions, curious what others think about it.

    Our 5 kids are grown, but there’s no way in hell I’d have let them run wild. When parents do that, it is one of the most annoying things about going places in public. It seems every time we go to eat someplace, a family with a gaggle of rowdy kids gets seated immediately near us.

        I appreciate that. And our “not allowing our kids to run wild” thing never involved being authoritarian, either. We just tried to raise them to be respectful of others and, whaddya know? It worked! We have some very respectful and wonderful grown adult kids!
