They were probably transplants...haha
The bottom line is many parents these days just don't care, and they don't hold their kids accountable for anything. We were having dinner at Carrabbas last night, and there was a toddler and a 3 or 4 year old running around uncontrolably in circles for a good 10 mintutes, and the parents were just sitting there watching them. 2 waitors with trays full of hot food almost ran them over, and other people sitting around us were becoming visibly disturbed. I would've been mortified if they were my kids.
