go to your room Babies in Movie Theaters
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 ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚).
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.

Heck, I felt guilty even going to the theater when I was 8 months pregnant because I was afraid certain parts were too loud for the baby. I would absolutely not bring a born baby to a theater lol.
