I do the same. If my daughter gets out of hand (and sometimes 3 year olds tend to do that), I take her out of the situation if possible.

An airplane is a different story though, as you said - sometimes you just can't calm a child, and sometimes people just have to suck it up.

(BTW, excellent point that most of us parents don't like to listen to our kids cry or scream either - we're still human. We just can't ALWAYS solve the problem.)

Even well-disciplined kids are going to act whacko sometimes.
