Don't get me wrong, I do not agree with the bad behavior, I just mean that sometimes it is expected considering the heat and the crowds and how tired everyone is.
I have a big issue with parents that are constantly berating and yelling
at their children while at WDW. By all means keep them in line, Children need boundaries, but your on vacation so let them stretch them a little and everyone will have a better time.

I agree that children need to 'let their hair down' so to speak, but I think she is talking about the ones that have parents that don't want the hassle of teaching their children good manners and such. The bad thing is, I have a step-son that thinks that way. He has a 4yo son that is a horrible BRAT! My DH and I can only be around him in small doses. The thing is, when we have him by himself, he behaves and is respectful to us and others. It is only when his parents are around that he is a terror. He knows what is expected of him by us and responds accordingly. Lets face it, being a parent is hard and there have been times when it would have been easier for me to ignore my kids than be a parent to them.
