For most Families travelling with kids is far more stressful for the parents who are very concerned about the way their children behave. I have all the patience in the world for an upset child. I have very little patience for parents who don't care (Which sounds like the case in the OP).
Now that my kids have a few flying miles under their belts I am very confident that they will be better behaved and more courteous than some adults in any class of seat or lounge.
