Do you think more kids misbehave in public today?

No. But my definition of misbehavior is a lot less broad than most people's.

To be perfectly honest, I live in the middle of a metropolitan city and I do not see very many children in my travels. Mostly business professionals/ college students and other adult populations. My supermarket is right at Copley Plaza and is really set up for quick shopping after work...you do not usually see carriages full to the brim of groceries (or children). Of course, you do not have to venture very far into the inner city urban area and there always appears to be hundreds of children with mothers, and there is always chaos. I do not spend too much time there, if at all.

No.

However, I can hardly judge because I don't know how kids behaved in the past so I can't compare.

I think so, being a frequent rider of public transportation.

I couldn't say

I guess so, but it doesn't seem to bother me as much as other people. I don't go out much, though. Sometimes, kids in public are really nice (cute, etc). I'm probably more concerned about misbehaving adults.

I don't see kids misbehave that often. I see a lot of cute toddlers, who, if I'm lucky, will wave back if I wave at them when the parent is not looking.

yes

I don't know. I doubt it, though.

Yes

All in all, from my po, better. I dont pay much attention to children in th first pace, but I noticce the awful ones. So I haen't noticed many lately, thus from that I'd say they are better. But what do I know?

I don't know. Probably.

Relatively speaking, yes. Badly. But the adults can be just as bad (in different ways). But, not as often.

...I think a lot of these "New Childhood Personality Disorders" are actually "Parenting Disorders".

Than when?
