We usually are, even when players and fans think we aren't.

This is no disrespect to you softballfan06, but I don't really care if parents or fans think we get the call right. As long as when I walk back to my position at home plate or in the field I know I got the play right that's all that matters.

My feelings with parents and fans is this: If you think you can do a better job umpiring, grab some gear and indicator and come on out. Otherwise, just watch the game and zip the lid. I loved it earlier this year a fan yelled from the stands, "Blue you need to go to school!!" I didn't say anything, but I wanted to tell him, well I have been to 2 already this year (Harry Wendelstedt and the Seattle ASA Clinic).
