I once had a colleague whose wife would come into the office with his children on his lunch, and they'd run around the office playing while others were trying to work while him and his wife saw at his desk eating. I was flabbergasted... it's a special kind of entitlement to think the rules don't apply.

As someone who doesn't want children, ever, I do find it the case that there is a small percentage on parents who think the rules don't apply to them because they have kids, and it's extremely frustrating. I also find parents getting special treatment in the workplace. Where I used to work parents were allowed flexible working hours but if you didn't have kids you weren't afforded the same luxury, plus it was always those without kids who were asked to work the additional unpaid events... like I didn't have family of my own and my time wasn't as valid.
