Married a geek, then left a job in advertising to be a personal assistant to a toddler. The pay is... well, nonexistent, but the perks are simply priceless.

Excuse me, while get on my soap box...

It drives me nuts when parents criticize their kids IN FRONT OF THEIR KIDS. Blogging out your frustrations or even discussing behavior issues with a spouse or a friend in private is one thing, but embarrassing your kid in front of your friends over a civilized, but casual meal in public is another...

I suppose there's isn't a tactful, non-judgemental, non-critical way to tell my friend this tactic for improving her kids' behavior is counter-productive...and uncomfortable for the rest of us.

You're right, there probably isn't and I should butt out.
