I am really surprised at the number of people here who are defending parents who bring screaming or crying children into movie theaters. The argument I thought would stand up the loudest has yet to be spoken, so let me bring it up...
People with hearing aids suffer the worst from a crying or screaming child in a movie theater. They are having their eardrums blown out with every sound that is louder than the general volume. They cannot focus on anything other than the extreme discomfort they are put into because of one oblivious parent with a child. The rule should be ONE. ONE outburst and the child is taken out of the theater and the mother suffers the same consequence. No movies for the naughty. Heaven help the people with hearing aids. The people with babies either don't know or don't care what kind of suffering they have to endure.
It's no so much people defending parents who bring screaming kids as the fact that there's a troll in here. He's the one with about 1/2 of the posts in here. (Well only 17 to be exact) I've seen him elsewhere. That's what a troll does, plain and simple. Look at how he gets a kick out of causing reactions out of others.
I disagree with 95% of what TKramer says, however, this is his quote from the other thread:
"If you have them, kids come first. Even if that means giving them to someone else to raise. You need to consider what's best for THEM.
If you're in a relationship, and you want your mate to come first, then don't have kids. My brother's 48, and he and his wife have none, so they can devote their time and attention to each other."
I think his brother in law has his kids and not this brother. Two different people. He also says that having kids means you do what is best for them. Even if it means living with other people. I think what he said was the truth in his case.
You are correct, they are two different people. Brother--brother in law--just a little bit of difference, but not a problem for people who can focus...

thank you for paying attention.
Oh excuse me. so sorry. Hard to focus when because I just got back from a movie where people were conversing through the movie.
Still....cant believe you would let someone raise your kids...brother, brother en law whatever. But then again you have not rules.

Ok my bad and my mistake so sorry. I would never give up my kids...no matter what. I dont think you would either as much as you talk about your children and care about them. But after reading all his posts he is not fit to be a parent maybe his BROTHER is.
What does this have ANYTHING to do with the OP???????????????
Don't get him started. It has nothing to do with the subject at hand, but I guess we are all suppose to focus and let people converse in the movie theaters, because if we can't we can't focus or some stupid reasoning. I am just glad that where I live, no one has this silly idea and for the most part people dont bring crying babies to the movie.
Other considerations! And why parents "ssshhh" babies.
I don't think you should make blanket statements like it's never ok to bring a baby to a movie theater. We've done it at times with great success with a small baby, because we know our baby and know if they would do ok in a theater - i.e. likely to sleep the whole time, and if not will quietly nurse or take a nuk, is not a noisy baby, etc... I have a 3 1/2 month old and don't feel I should leave him with anyone else right now as he is nursing and probably won't take a bottle so it's not a question of "finding a sitter." Most parents have good judgment and will take their baby out if they start crying. I agree shouldn't take an older baby or toddler that's active but when they are still so little lots of babies would do just fine in a movie. And as far as the "Sssshhhh" thing, it's not like they're trying to tell their baby to be quiet. Babies have 4 built in ways they can be comforted, which are sucking (nursing, bottle or nuk), holding on side, swinging/rocking, and calming noises that reminds them of the sounds they heard in the womb and the "sssshhhh" sound is that calming noise kind of like white noise that is one thing that helps calm/comfort a baby.
