I get so frustrated with all the parents who don't seem to want to parent their children in public but either ignore them or fear being seen as the bad dad/mom. It seems rather recent to see children running and screaming in restaurants and stores, destroying things and running amok. It always seems like the calm children are the most secure and happy and is a reflection of great parenting. When I see it, I'm going to do just like Jake and maybe leave a little gift and a note. Parenting is very hard and good ones should get all the praise in the world.
