re: When did society decide children in public were a nuisance?

Years ago, Texas restaurant had a "garden" inside, enclosed by glass. My friend's nephew entered the garden area and took a leak with the entire restaurant watching (and with many laughing).

Boys will destroy something to see if they can. Ask them why they did something and they will stare at you and innocently say “I don’t know Dad. I had to.”
And they mean it. It’s real. You can’t just whip that arse either. It doesn’t work. Because they are tiny men. You have to explain to them why not and convince them not to do it so that they understand.
Endless energy. With zero direction. Like a balloon with the knot untied. All the time. Until they crash. It’s hard to get them aimed at something but it’s super satisfying when you do.
Social settings can be hard early You learn to read them as people though and take them outside to walk around the parking lot or look at rocks or whatever. Basically give them a break.
Nailed it

I'll just say this, if you are on a plane and allow your kid to kick the back of my seat for 2 hours without seeming to even notice/care, or allowing them to listen to fricking BLUEY on full volume without headphones, then may karma find you.
Like everything, the answer to your question is that there is a time and a place for everything. If you are at a restaurant with a sandbox? Or an expensive restaurant where other's are spending considerable money for a special occasion? Are they young and crying in a grocery store? Or are your kids 10 and climbing the store shelves and running around others?
I think adults have forgotten how to behave in public, and they are usually the same ones who's kids don't know either.

Go frick yourself bud. Kids learn by being out in public. You gonna spank a 3 year old for being noisy in public to "teach them manners?"
I've had three kids and of course have had situations come up where someone was crying/fighting/whining... Most of these situations are avoidable if you don't take them out when they are tired or hungry. Before I set foot inside a store I set an expectation and a consequence. Even a three year old understands "I need to buy us food for dinner, but if you are quiet until the end I will get you an ICEE or you can pick out the cereal". On occasion, I have left the store/restaurant out of respect to others.

Since people started letting their kids be little dipshits everywhere with no discipline. I’m a dad of a 6 and 4 yr old and we will just not go places sometimes if either of my kids are being little shits. A society functions well when its people have common courtesy of each other. Letting a gremlin be an a-hole and bother others around them is selfish

This I don’t get. Every kid should have a device with headphones to occupy them in public settings.
Shut the frick up

The epic arse whooping parents would give kids that stepped out of line was more uncomfortable to watch than the kid being disruptive.
He would warn me, and if I got out of control again he would just say, "You're getting a whipping when we get home."
Even though I always got the whipping, I still acted like an angel until he came to my room and administered the whipping.

What? Kids with iPads/switches etc to entertain them and headphones are the most well-behaved least disruptive kind.
The whole “no screens” thing is nonsense. Took my gameboy everywhere back in the day.

They're not well-behaved.
They're addicted to brainrot.

They became a nuisance when the quality of most parents took a shite

The airline that has the stones to offer kid free flights will make so much money.

Screens are for lazy parents who can't be bothered teaching their children the do's and don'ts of being out in public, and a good way to handicap your kids later in life, because they never learn the proper way to interact with others.
It is much healthier for kids to learn early, what good behavior in public is. However, that involves a lot of work that many of today's self centered parents seem to be shirking.
