I know that I can be an asshole about taking pictures of the various cats in my life, but the fundamental difference between getting down on your knees to take a photo of a feline and having your DSLR lens pointed 3 inches from your child’s face for an entire subway ride is that a cat does not understand the social implications of the photographic act. A cat is not going to become a bratty prick because you photographed it too much. Whereas your kid completely knows that his or her status as photo object is both entitling and disentitling, and will be ruined accordingly.
