PS if I wasn't such an introvert, I probably would have said 'good job; your kids are so well-behaved, they're a credit to you' . Extroverts, the burden is on you to publicly support pronatalism & effective parenting.

In this restaurant, a couple of 20-something parents are managing their four kids, aged 2-7, with patience, grace, good humor, and gentle discipline. They're my new heroes. I wish there was a non-awkward way to say 'good job', but there isn't, so here I am tweeting about it.

I was juggling my 4 and 1 year old in the grocery store alone the other day. On the way out to the car with a full buggy, a one year old in one arm and the 4 year old in the cart a guy rolled about to pull into a spot rolled down his window and said "way to go dad!" Thats all

Just tell them what a wonderful job as parents they are doing. They’d probably appreciate it.

Buy their kids desert. Up their game. Sugar it up.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years already, why can’t we have a whole month dedicated to honor & celebrate families? Parties, picnics & parades could be a lot of wholesome fun!

I would just tell them what a wonderful job they did with their kids. We've had people tell us that before & appreciated it very much.
