Honestly there’s nothing a child can do in public that’s as much of a disturbance as an adult yelling at them
Spoken like someone who is not a parent.
Or someone who has watched adults yell at kids in public and found it more disturbing than what the kid was doing. If you think you aren’t mature enough not to lose your absolute shit at your child for acting like a child, don’t choose to have one, or if you already chose or couldn’t choose, work on yourself so you can be better for that child. Everyone snaps every once in a while and raises their voice, which sucks, but the shit I’ve seen, the way they talk to their kids, it is often obvious this is just how the parent is. I have no respect for them. I genuinely think you’d probably recognize the difference, if I could show you what I’ve seen. It’s… it’s not normal behavior. It’s inherently upsetting. If you care about kids and see that shit, it sets off all kinds of alarms. Kids might misbehave, but the parent’s response shouldn’t be cruel or frightening. If bystanders are noticing, the parent needs to cool off ASAP.
