Indeed! The parish church I grew up in in Augusta had NO BATHROOM! You had to go to another building nearby. My dad insisted that we go to the bathroom before Mass because we could not go during Mass! I see children leaving to go to the bathroom as I am elevating the Host and Chalice, reason 3 million and 666 for ad orientem!
Yes, William, to a great extent I believe you are correct. My parents would never have allowed me to behave in Mass the way many do today. I really wish our priest, in a respectful and catechetical way, would dedicate a part of his homily to educating folks on some "do's and don'ts". Not sure why most priests don't do this from time to time

And might I add...Stop the mid Mass, even during the Consecration, field trips to the bathroom with children. Teach them NO, we are not doing this!
#9. Come early, sit in a pew near the central aisle and glare at anyone who tries to move past you.

Vatican II vulgarized our sacred rites and these dicta no longer apply. Bugini has won and we no longer "own the Mystery."
