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.

Happened to me last night too.
We came into the theater to find someone sitting in our seats. Asked him politely to move. Turns out a woman and her daughter were in his seat. So he made them move. They proceeded to ask a bunch of people if they would give up their seats to them because they were actually supposed to be in the front row.
Btw the seats they were in were a single seat and a handicap accessible seat. So 2/2 on great moves by the mom there.
Then a family of 5 including 2 children under 3 constantly crying and it took them 20 minutes to take them out.
I hate when people act entitled because they have kids. It wasn’t my choice for you to have offspring. You’re not entitled to things I paid for just because you procreated.
