Its all about the parents.
Absolutely, but many of them have been brought up with the attitude that whatever they want they get and have no idea of consideration towards others.

Most airlines won't allow dogs in the cabin, better my Westie than these Urchins
Not on board an aircraft, but recently some friends and I had some time to kill so went to a pub for lunch. Because of access problems one friend needed to sit near a window. The only table free was next to some young-ish mums with an assortment of children at least two of whom were badly behaved and one of whom, aged five, stood on a seat then walked across the table - thankfully without his shoes.
As we were leaving I commented to the manager that whilst I appreciated the fact that they did not want dogs inside the pub and had no problem with that, my two who were in the car would have caused no disruption at all, unlike the little dears who had been sitting next to us. He smiled ruefully and said "I know."

"Please may I have a bowl of water and a biscuit?"

Bryn is his favourite, dog-friendly pub which has, sadly, now closed.
