There, but for the grace of God ...

A very famous couple, who I won't name but certain tabloids have, apparently had to leave a major event this week because their young children were running wild in a hotel and other visitors were complaining.

I suspect every parent of young children who is even slightly in the public eye must dread this kind of thing happening. We live in an age where parents are supposed to be constantly kind and superhumanly patient with their offspring, and yet keep them completely under control. Parents these days get flak from some quarters if they so much as raise their voice when a child misbehaves, and yet they are supposed to teach children discipline when every possible means of doing so is condemned as cruelty by some well-meaning busybody.
