I usually don't, being a parent. But when I see a young kid out at a restaurant at 9 pm, I do. Or when the kid is rubbing his eyes and crying b/c he's tired, I just want to say "take your kid home so he can nap!"
In what situations do you judge?

now, that I'm a parent, I have a little more sympathy for crying kids and their parents but I still judge the situation by the way the parents are handling it. If the kid is balling out of control and the parents keep shopping or eating like the kid is invisible, I kind of wonder about that. But when I see the parent making an effort to calm the child or remove them from the situation, I feel like they may be doing all they can and the child just may be being a child.

most children's behaviour under a certain age can be the fault of the parents, although not always. i know folks who are strict, loving and have excellent relationships at home who have kids who act up, especially in public. more often than not, the main problem as i see it, for i don't have kids, is a lack of enforcing responsibility. you can have a kid who is at home and the household is like boot camp, but when they come to school, this same child is allowed to slack off on assignments without fear of failing. or you could have a strict school, but the parents teach the kids that the teachers and administration are full of poo and that they don't have to listen to them. i'll be in a store where the kids are running around and the parents are sitting there with this "aren't my kids the most adorable" smile on their faces. whether or not the child learns responsibility, once they hit the age of consent, pretty much they are responsible for what they do, no matter what. you can only blame mommy and daddy for so long, then you gotta blame the kid. at some point, reality will step in.

If it looks like the kid is just having a particularly bad day and they are at least trying to do something about it, no.
But if it's clear that they are just ignoring the child and letting them run wild, or like you said, they dragged the kid out in public when they should have known it was a bad time, that is annoying.

Well,I agree with you & do tend to judge when given a good reason to...like an obnoxious kid,crying & screaming uncontrollably,
one that uses cuss words in context, any misbehavior towards strangers, etc...Most situations can be controlled by leaving the said situation at hand..other times I think it is due to lack of correct parenting at home..some kids are just outta control,others act on what they are taught..Its sad to me really..I know good kids exist,but they sure are getting fewer n fewer over the years..

Whenever the child enters my "space", physically or audibly. I love kids, but they need to learn boundaries. Parents should make them understand the difference between home and public.
Even though a parent might find theirs kids cute and adorable, I may not, and neither might others.
So yes, I judge the parents, and often times I think the parents need more tha a "time out"; they need a wide leather belt to their back for not minding THEIR kids...

I don't know if I'd judge the parent if the kid is tired but I would judge the parent if the kid is completely unruly. I mean, as a parent, you need to teach your child discipline.

Well I don't necessarily 'judge' but honestly, if the kids are misbehaving, whose fault would it be if not the parents? I am a parent too and blamed no one but myself if my kids were acting up. Kids are just kids; without guidance and discipline from parents, they will almost always 'get in trouble' and 'misbehave' because that's their curious and fun-loving nature.

No, I judge the kid unless it is a youngin' under the Age of 3, in that case, It is just a baby being a baby.

I'm with you too. I mostly only judge when i see little kids out on a really busy road, with no parent.

usually i don't...because being a parent myself i know that no matter how well you teach the kids, they'll still misbehave now and then. but i do judge if the parent is not paying any attention to their child, and doesn't do anything to try and stop them from misbehaving
