I alway's took my four boy's with me too and they were alway's well behaved. They are all close in age (14, 13, 11, and 10) and 2 have ADHD, still very well behaved children. They knew what behavior we expected when out in public and school!
Some parents do tend to not care how their child is acting. BUT I must say that if any of you have read parenting books or taken parenting classes, they do teach you that you should ignore a child throwing a fit, even in public places! It is suggested that you wait to speak about their behavior in privet so you do not embarrass the child. They do suggest time out or privileged being taken away too but that is for older children mostly.
I had to take classes last year on child abuse for day care and I kid you not, they said to just ignore the fit being thrown, talk to them in privet on behavior, give a time out when calmed down or take a privilege away. The instructor said that she has had a parent get called on for abusing their child just simply for picking her child up off the floor and going to her car while the father finished shopping. She did not yell at the child, just removed her from the store so she would not cause a seen. People feared that she was going to beat the child.
