I have brought small children to the theater, and he slept thru the entire movie. I remember someone like you sitting behind us, and they whispered under their breath "Oh noes, they have a baby, we need to change seats" but it was too late, the lights went down and the projector came on. After the movie the same couple told us what a nice baby we had.
It all depends on the kid, one of my boys could not be quiet or still enough to be in a theater until he was five, other children of mine were always well mannered and quiet. Go figure.
sorry, you are missing my entire point....
people like me
I'm not talking about people like you!!!!!!!!!
If your baby had cried, what would you have done?????
and those people behind you, probably had a very bad experience with a very uncaring parent with a baby.
You have to realize, these people were out for an entertaining night...they feared your baby would start crying and they would be unable to hear the movie. It's like when someone owns a dog, and the dog barks all night, and the owners never hear it, however, it bothers the neighbors something terrible. Well it's the same thing with your baby, when it cries, it doesn't bother you nearly as much as it bother others...so, these people I'm guessing had a very bad experience once before....
I dont' believe you read any of my other posts, you just assumed I was also referring to the good parent as well and took offense.?
I think it is just having a lack of respect. No problem with children or babies, at a movie theater, restaurant, malls.
But when your baby or child, starts to scream at the top of his lungs, disturbing a movie, people in a resturant or whatever the scenario. Common sense tells a thoughtful parent, to get up, and take the child out.
That being said, today, too often parents don't do a thing about an out of control child that is screaming at the top of their lungs. Parents are the problems, they know better but do nothing about it.
Society has changed. It's not about how your actions might effect others, it's about your self gratification.
Remember..it's all about "me" now.
So you have to take matters in your own hands if you are inconvenienced by the actions of others because they don't care.
You need to start asking for your money back from theater managers, asking to have your seat moved in restaurants or a refund as well.
And before you start, I raised a kid and took him places appropriate for his age.
There's a time and place for disruptive kids that's acceptable like chuckie cheese or a disney movie.
There's no way in hell you bring an infant to a movie theatre at 12:30 am. Your first responsibility is to that child, and that child belongs in bed, at home. What an incredible act of self-indulgence by the sire and the broodmare of this child.
I am wondering if these 'parents' are teens are young 20 somethings, if they can even in fact afford to go to the movie, etc. Too often now I see younger and younger parents with absolutely no earthly ability to afford these lives of profligate consumption.
I can't imagine why any adult would allow their child, (let alone baby) to sit through such a violent and evil movie. This society has become so wicked.
All of those people waited in line for hours to watch violence. Unfortunately, violence begets violence, so they ended up being the victims.
