[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate most kids but love my own. Remember that you can parent them how you want. If others are annoying, it’s because they were not parented how you would do it. Personalities do matter but most of it is just parenting (no matter what anyone says).[/quote]

Hard disagree but looks like PP was expecting pushback so no surprise there.

If we are just talking about people letting their kids behave poorly in a restaurant then yes I agree that's a parenting problem. I find kids annoying in hundreds of situations beyond that...

Kids are their own people, not just an extension of you as a parent. There are plenty of good kids with good parents who are definitely annoying, not because something is wrong, but because people are wildly individual and don't always work the same way.

Also, what if your child has special needs, mental illness, etc. and behavior that you find very annoying? It's totally out of your control whether that's part of who they are. Sure, good parenting, therapies and strategies can make a big difference, but kids are sometimes a nuisance and not through any fault of their own. We love them anyway and think they are worth it.[/quote]
