Welp, I'm not a parent at all, and I still think that sometimes you have to make allowances for the kid with variance based on the kid, the situation, and also degrees of how the parents are dealing with the kid - if they are.
And yeah, sometimes it's inappropriate to have a noisy kid in public places: quiet carriages on trains, anything involving audience attention to a stage or screen, and expensive dining establishments, fr ex.
I once spent 15 hours of a flight listening to an infant screaming while the parents walked it up and down the aisle. Poor thing, poor parents, and yeah, the rest of us weren't happy either but...whatcha gonna do?
Sometimes you just have to mentally go "well, shit, kid's not going to stop screaming and crying and the carer is doing what they can, but...we're going to have to live with this." Also, it's temporary for me and long-term for them so...
