It's one thing if an 8 year old kid is misbehaved but a 2 year old is a 2 year old and sometimes there is nothing you can do.
I couldn't disagree with you more. I raised two kids (now teens) who were typically well behaved, especially in public. And my kids are far from unusual. I've met many young children who are smart enough to understand what behavior is expected and act accordingly. There may be the occasional bad moment, but if, as you say, the children are "rarely well-behaved" then it definitely IS the parents' fault. (assuming, of course, that the child doesn't have a disability which causes what might be seen as poor behavior)
As their parent, it's your responsibility to do what you can to prevent your children from annoying others with their bad behavior - especially when those people have no way to escape when your little darlings are less than darling.
