[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you all say to parents when you see this? I too have toddlers but am not rude like this. My kids are also upset they don’t get iPads at doctors office waiting rooms and dinners and they see other kids listening to theirs without headphones. I’d like something to say so that other parents are aware that what they’re doing is incredibly annoying and that headphones are mandatory [/quote]

I don't say anything to the parents.  But we have been near people using devices without headphones, and my kid has asked why they aren't using headphones or why she has to use headphones, and I will tell her plainly that it's because it's inconsiderate not to use headphones.  And I don't whisper -- if the parents hear me say it, so what?  They already know it's annoying, and they don't care, apparently, but I don't have to pretend like it's okay.

If you're somewhere like a doctor's office or a restaurant, you could talk to the staff.  If it bothers them, too, they'll say something to the parents.  [/quote]
