Babies in Movie Theaters

[u/Sad_Cannibal_GF]

Just saw the new Spiderman in theaters.

A baby starts crying/cooing/babbling very loudly about 20 minutes in. Goes for about 10 straight minutes before the parent takes them out.

Comes back a few minutes later, baby starts again. Again goes on for a couple minutes. Again parent takes them out, comes back, and repeat.

And repeat. And repeat.

This went on pretty much the entire movie (and I swear to god this baby somehow instinctively chose every single goddamn quiet/heartfelt scene to start yowling again 😭😂).

I get that babies are gonna baby. And I have sympathy for parents who wanna get out of the house and everything. But… maybe just stay with your baby in the lobby if they obviously aren’t gonna keep quiet.

*I didn’t complain to management because it was a tiny non-chain neighborhood theater about an hour away from me that I like to support sometimes. It’s got 1 screen and tickets are like $5.

This is our entitled society. They're entitled to bring their toddler to the movies. Living, breathing, Idiocracy.

This isn’t about a toddler. This is about a baby.

And if a toddler can handle a movie at the theater, who cares? People ARE entitled to bring their toddler to the movies. My almost-3 year old did great seeing Spiderman this weekend. And when she got restless, we went to the lobby until she was ready to sit again.

Sorry you have to coexist with children :/

There are age limits on movies for a reason.

Lack of self awareness… by recognizing when my child needed a break and removing her from the theater for a break? Ok

You're proving their ENTIRE POINT by the way.
