I have a 20 month old son and I have noticed I get annoyed with a lot of "parental behavior" like that. So what annoys you?
Me it has to be when children that can walk are still drinking out of bottles. Or older children with paci's (like we saw a kid playing a ds and he was also sucking on a pacifire... What bugs you?

I think a big part of it is my son's grandmother is a dentist and I KNOW how bad it is for childrens teeth to be using a bottle and still using a paci as they get older.

I am not judging anyone's parental capabilities, just simple things that are annoying, I am not saying people that let their kids use a bottle after a year are bad parents!

For me it's definitely the older kids walking around with pacifiers. Especially when they try to talk and keep it in their mouth. Drives me crazy.
The other one is the extreme overuse of juice! There really isn't any reason to give a child juice, it really is nothing more than sugared water.
Edit:
Here's another one: People who think that they aren't being judgmental when they say to someone else, "Don't be so judgmental."

Parents that treat their kids like they are objects rather than little people. I picked my son up at daycare and watched one mother in action. She never stopped talking on her cell phone, went to the door, snapped her fingers, made the 'lets go' face and they were gone. I watched her son's face just crash when she walked in. No better than training a dog, and she never skipped a beat.
Parents that have to one-up you. Can't just exchange cool thoughts about your children, have to always come up with a story about some over the top achievement their kid did. Competition is ugly when its put on the actions of children.
Parents that make excuses for poor behavior in their kids. No, he is not tired/hungry/bored/sick/feverish/advanced...he doesn't have manners because you have not instilled them. Weak parents that think somehow, later in life all of the things that were hard to do, so they didn't do them, will just miraculously happen to their kids. They will wake up one day and say 'thank you', 'please', 'I'm sorry', or 'I love you' with out being prompted.
Lazy parents, that think just turning a kid loose on the playground is quality time. Why have them if your not going to interact with with them.
These are some of the things that bother me.

Toddlers and preschoolers left largely unsupervised. We were at one of those indoor mall playgrounds and there was a five year old playing alone. After a few minutes, it became clear that there was no parent there. Turns out, mom was next door getting a pedicure (and not even facing the playground). Security said it happens every single day.
I see similar stuff at parks & playgrounds everywhere. Parents and nannies on the phone with their back to their kids, sitting in their cars, or flat out absent while their toddlers & preschoolers are playing.

The pacifiers are a big trigger with me.
Parents who allow the child to act out in the store are awful too. I mean I understand a crying, tired child, but when the kids are being abusive and over the top, get them the hell out of the store.

parents who seem oblivious to the fact that they have kids with them. we watched a mom in walmart the other day she had a little girl with her at the most was 15 months the baby wandered off from her. my husband grabbed the baby and took her back to her mother who was on a cell phone. if he hadnt grabbed her she would have wandered in to the parking lot and she had the balls to scream and yell kidnapper at my husband lucky for us a store employee has also seen the little girl heading for the door and told her that the child had wandered off and that she needed her in the cart or a stroller next time. she got all pissy with them cussed us some more and left.
the bottles and pacis would be number two on my list

One thing that bugs me is when they just aren't being practical. Like when they aren't watching their kids when they are out, and they wander away, or when they have them in a shopping cart and they turn their back and aren't watching them, and the kid starts to get up from the seat. Things like that. I know I'm not perfect, I'm sure others could criticize me for things too, but I try to have SOME common sense and show it.

It frustrates me when family members undermine your authority. I ask my son to put his shoes on and he doesn' t want to for whatever reason. Then a minute later my mom is doing it for him. Also, I am trying to get him ready to leave their house so we can go home and cook dinner and they ask him if he wants some ice cream. It makes it very difficult to parent a child when they learn they can go to the others to get their way. Sadly, it's not even the child's fault, but they are the ones put in the middle.

Mine is parents throwing lavish 1 year old birthday parties, where I have to contain my kids while theirs open gifts and not break all the nick nacks they didnt put away. Especially when scheduled during my kids nap time.
Then theirs the competitive parents, bragging about their genius 9 month olds.
So its far more the parents.

My biggest pet peeve is mothers (or fathers) who ignore their kids. I'll be at the park with my son and another kid is throwing sand, taking kid's toys, pushing kids around, etc. I look over and the mom is sitting on a bench talking on her cellphone or reading a magazine. Come on! Watch your kid!
