Children should be seen but not heard, are you kidding me? Are you a parent?
I took my 2 young kids to Antigua, once or twice they cried etc but we were on it immediately to quiten them down, make them happy etc which is very different compared to my flight home from Greece (again with 2 kids 4 & 6 then) last year where 2 kids were crying, misbehaving, throwing things etc and the parents did nothing about it to the point lots of pax complained.
As for you Mary Meagher, I agree with what most of what you said, I dont take my kids in Pa28, Im a 120 hour ppl and other than a quick flight with the eldest I wouldn't chance it, but there are ways to say things, just because some of the people on this thread decide it's ok to crry their toddler at 3 months it's up to them. PS. To the question earlier about taking them in my car well yes, obviously. I've been driving since jan 97 and the amount of miles I've done would be comparable to a 10,000 pilot in hour terms, each to there own though.
