You hit the nail on the head, Jazzy.

Not saying that parents with strollers should be confined to walkable distances and/or kept completely off of public transportation, but I think that some parents' efforts to be more mobile than is realistic wind up really getting in other people's way, which to some non-parents and parents alike comes off as entitlement. Under certain situations (case-by-case and mostly just spectacularly obnoxious/ easily avoided situations), I am inclined to agree.

Also, the dog-park vs tot-park thing is possibly an older story than the stroller thing. For what it's worth, last I heard there is no official park on Capitol Hill where dogs are allowed unleashed (there are some "unofficial" or de facto dog parks but that's a different story).
