(4,517 posts)Detaching the entire shooting thing from this, taking a three month old to the movies sends the message that the parents care more about their entertainment than about what's best for their child or for those around them. Can't get a midnight sitter so you can go hang out with your friends, oh well, you're a parent and have responsibilities now. But instead they bring something that will scream and cry at every loud explosion and gun shot and screw up the movie for every other person around them. All because it was all about them. Now if it doesn't affect those around them, I typically can let that slide, but I've been in plenty of theaters lately where people just don't give a damn about anyone else in the theater. Screaming starts and you can hear them smacking the shit out of the kid. Or they spend the entire time talking shit to their friends, or on their phones or whatever the hell they're doing. It's not us not wanting them to have fun, it's us wanting them to respect their neighbors and civil society.
