I agree to a certain extent. The thing is parents thesedays can't win, we aren't allowed to reprimand our children, we have to have them entertained at all hours (but with the 'right entertainment), we have to keep them quiet so as not to disturb anybody else but we also need to take them along to our daily errands so they just learn how to live.
I have a young child and we don't limit our outings due to this, however, when we do go out for say a meal if she even mutters a whinge the looks we get I can't even tell you! We always take her books and a few toys but unfortunately she gets bored with those - a screen they never seem to bore of! If I have to use a screen to save my sanity, her getting distressed and the judgement from all around then is it the worst thing?
On the subject of dogs being treated like humans, I literally call mine my baby girls sister

and you know what I know it's ridiculous but I'd rather treat my dog the way I do, give her the best life I can because I just love her
