re: Why do parents feel their kids are allowed to be loud in public?

This is pretty lame. You are effectively judging parenting skills as someone that isn’t a parent and saying you can do better.

When adults were together, kids were outside. However, everyone in the neighborhood were aware of us.
We ran the neighborhoods, moms kept in touch, if we caused issues it was corrected when we got home.
We were loud, obnoxious like kids are supposed to be. Hearing kids outside playing warms my heart.

Common excuse is "kids are just loud, you can't control it" but you can control where you bring them. And if they start to go ballistic while you're out, do your job and discipline them and leave. Have some dignity.
man it was bad at mass Sunday. The church even has "cry rooms" for babies and unruly kids. Yet here we are letting these kids basically play games in the pews, screaming, talking, crying, etc. while the parents do nothing.

My gripe on planes is parents seem to have lost all sense of polite volume. Most people talk a quietly on planes but we know kids don't naturally do this. They could easily say "hey sport, let's bring the volume down a bit" but instead they just let them talk nonstop as kids do about everything they see while everyone else is trying to exist in peace. It pierces the soul on a 7 am flight.
How old are you referring to here? Have you ever told a 2 year old to speak at a lower volume? I can get your point if the kid is older, but some kids just don't understand that shite because they are too young. Also, stop being poor, slap on some noise cancelling headphones if you are on a flight and want it to be quiet.

If your church isn't crying, it's dying

A common response is “kids are just loud.” I understand this; kids truly don’t have natural volume control and will just talk at max level if left to their own devices.
This is why - and I am surprised this bears clarification - it is the PARENTS’ responsibility to educate their kids on manners and decency. “Hey kid, when we’re at X location it’s important to be mindful of those around us so try to.” Some people seem to get this, for others it seems like a weirdly foreign concept.

Imagine “riding on planes often” and still being such an amateur that you don’t bring something to block out sound.

You would have to have cancer to have experience treating it. Or to possess adequate intuition to criticize how someone else is handling it.
The lack of logical reasoning from some of you is pretty astounding.

Headphones for plane travel are a necessity, not a luxury.

I had to sell my Harley like 4 years ago due to health issues. And all the decades I did ride, I never had the ridiculously loud pipes.
But thanks for pretending you know anything about me.

I’m surprised it bears clarification that kids do not listen to their parents. My head literally hurts at the end of the day trying to correct stupid arse behavior.
Are there shitty parents out there? Absolutely, and your point is valid with these people. But it is straight up laughable that your suggestion of telling a kid “hey sport, knock it off” is an effective solution.
Now, once a kid is 7-8 they should respond to a simple reminder from their parents. But little kids are crazy people that need constant reminders on basic life skills like how to not die, and as a parent, it’s probably the thing I underestimated the most before I had them.

In my experience, both before and after kids, is that nobody really cares if your kid acts like a normal kid if their parents are tuned in and trying their best.
Little kids are loud, to an extent. They laugh loudly when happy, they scream out periodically when something excites them. And sure, they whine/cry loudly periodically too.
Intermittent "kid sounds" be it on a plane or a restaurant are going to be ignored/treated favorably by most normal people. Uncorrected screaming or laughing loudly or shouting or whatever will annoy lots of people, probably serious parents most of all. Bratty kids have a certain disposition that other kids do not, even when they're not really behaving particularly poorly. Parents in particular can probably recognize kids who aren't being parented well even if they kids aren't acting all that terribly in the moment.
I do think in a world where more and more people are opting not to have kids and our culture is becoming more hostile to traditional family stuff, it's a little more difficult to discern whether these complaints are legit or or they're the product of grouchy DINKs who are coming from a different place than most people. In other words, I think the "average person" is shifting a little bit and likely becoming more kid hostile.

Mine will listen, they just forget as soon as they get excited again. I had my kids at the office for a couple of hours the other day. They were good but I had to remind my 5 year old boy to keep it quiet every 10 minutes.
