I think I've always taken it for granted that DS1 is super obedient in public. He would never take off on me, run into a parking lot, etc. He is a pretty cautious kid. He might protest over leaving some place, but I can trust him not to do something dangerous.

DS2 is a little monkey though! He'll run away, run off, etc. He's only 16 months so I'm hoping it's just a stage!

Do your kids listen in public?
