What should you do about bad parenting?

So I stop play chuck them and go merrily on my way with the game.

On one occasion I had a coach ask "aren't you afraid they'll go at it in the parking lot??"

Don't know why I just want to bust up laughing at that?

And the answer is: "No. I am afraid they won't."
