Batman Massacre in Colorado

You people need to gtfoh with this "it's ok to bring babies to the movies" nonsense. You are the people everyone in America HATES and you are the reason that people roll their eyes when I get on a plane with my well-behaved children. I have a buddy like you guys who cost me $140 bucks last Sunday. We were at breakfast and he refused to bring his child, who was in a full-out screaming tantrum outside. I felt so bad that I told the waitress to charge me for the meals of the tables on either side of me. Little did I know that one was a party of eight.

I Invited a two year old who is friends with my son and his dad for a Playdate at my beach house. They show up 8am and we got to breakfast at the local diner where I am a regular. I don't know the dad well enough to tell him to gtfo, so when his kids started throwing a tantrum in the restaurant I just suggested a few times that they go outside til he calmed down. He ignored me and I am sitting there with all of my neighbors glaring at me like it's MY fault. Inconsiderate and self-absorbed parents are the WORST.

That was on you for paying that bill lol. You should have just apologized and moved on.

I've taken my toddlers out who were well behaved and had patrons stare at our table and I always ask is there a problem it catches them off guard and they get all embarrassed and shyt with the no problem answer. As I've said before if you don't have anybody you trust to keep the kid your social life should not have to suffer but I do agree it's the parents responsibility to make sure the child doesn't ruin it for other patrons.

LOL CMON. What kind of consideration are you giving to other people by bringing a baby to a midnight action movie?
Parents carry their newborns places when they have no choice or are doing things that need to get done.

Where is the need to see the Batman movie? hahah, there's umpteen alternatives to bringing your baby to the movie.

I don't know what the motivation would be to carry a newborn to a midnite movie there could be any number of situations. The point is as long as one or both parents are willing to leave the theatre if the child starts to cry I don't have an issue with it. Last two times we've been to the movies (Avengers and Ted) a newborn was behind us and each time one of the parents would leave the theatre immediatly when the baby started to cry.

I've seen a second interview with this family today. Ann Curry was the reporter, again, the baby was pretty docile the whole time during the interview. The mom got emotional, dad got emotional and the entire time the baby was like it was on prosaic, still pretty docile. In my 20's we had to babies, the first cried all the time, just a whiner. The second was as our friends would say, "Wow, that is a very quite baby", nothing seemed to upset him. You have to know your child, and their behavior patterns. All evidence to date is that their baby wasn't a distraction in the theater.

At anytime a brat can spoil your day @ the grocery store, restaurants, the mall, etc with their crying, outburst, tantrums, or antics. LOL, so midnight is our quite time away from these parents with kids then? Where do we sign up for the ordinance?

The truth is crying babies don't bother me but a semi automatic weapon on the other hand...............................

lol Leave the gott damn kids at home. There is no reason to bring a baby to a movie. The reason you don't know is because it doesn't exist. haha, the reason to bring a newborn to a midnight movie is

Russian terrorists are holding your wife hostage and have threatened to kill her unless you take your baby to see a superhero movie at midnight.

[Play Action]

If the mom is fine and breast feeding, definitely let the babies into the movies... lol

Anyways, its sad how sick the killer is.

Going to dinner with your kids is one thing (although if you are not choosing a child-appropriate restaurant, you are probably a douche), but taking a kid to an event that is predicated on (1) SILENCE; and (2) the ability to sit in one place for 2+ hours is another thing entirely. This is not to mention how inappropriate it is to have children watching violent movies or staying up until THREE IN THE MORNING! This wasn't just a 3 month old, there were 6 and 9 year olds there too.

I am in the exact situation you describe as far as having no nearby relatives and I can say with no reservations whatsoever that if you think you should be entitled to bring your toddler to a midnight movies intended for adults because you are somehow entitled to maintain the same social life you had before.....you are selfish and naive. My son is two years and 4 months and my daughter is 7 weeks and I can count the amount of social events (mostly weddings) my wife and I have attended together in the last 2.5 years on two hands.

Having kids is about sacrificing. There is no way in hell that my wife and I are going to sleep-deprive my son so that we can go to a movie rather than renting one. And the last thing I need is him going to the playground an punching some kid in the face because everyone in the theatre cheered when Batman did it.

This isn't to say that you can't continue to be social, however part of the sacrifice of having children is taking turns staying home with them while the other parent goes out. Or waiting for a movie to come out on DVD. Or ordering food in, rather than going out. Or working out at home with the TRX once a week instead of the gym. etc etc etc

1st of all, its not exactly the safest thing to do with your baby...bringing it to a VERY crowded theatre where people can bump into you, etc. A theatre at midnight opening the Dark Night movie which would have a high chance or young drunk and normally unresponsible people. It's not like its the opening for "sex in the city" where its going to be relatively safe women who dont go 5 miles over the speed limit.

2nd. You should be trying to get your baby acclimated to sleeping during the night which is a pretty hard thing to do in a crowded theatre playng a movie with gun shots and explosions at midnight. If you have to see it, why not wait a couple of weeks and go to a show during the weekday, not a weekend a weekday?

Its a matter of priority IMO. It's a topic of conversation because most people know its a stupid thing to do.


As far as taking little kids different places at reasonable hours, i dont have an issue AS LONG as you have the consideration to take them outside when they start crying or if they are old enough, you discipline them.

There are reasons just none good enough for you or others and to that I would have to say to each his own. I don't agree with a lot of things others do in general but I don't know thier situation as to why they are doing what they are doing. So like anything else taking a baby to movie doesn't bother me as much as it does others and accept that there has to be a reason why. As long as they take the baby outside if it starts to cry if they don't after awhile have an usher take care of it.

Like I said as long as the parent is in control there should be no problem but granted there are those parents that are not in control and it should be put in the hands of an usher.

I've said this many times in here everyone has the right to be a parent or have a drivers license but that doesn't mean everyone should do either.

The reason is simple. Its stupid and not healthy for the baby. why cant the reason simply be the lack of a reason to take a baby out at midnight among all of those people in that environment?

I dont know if you have kids or if you were around when your kid(s) were born, but one of the most important thing the doctor tells you is to not have the baby around a bunch of people if it can be avoided. I forget the technical term is for the illness they can get, but being around a crowded theater is probably the nastiest place to have a 3 month old. So her two choices were to "take my 3 month old baby to this crowded show at midnight or wait until the weekday/weekday night to take him". Her choice is totally irresponsible.

Ya, I mean these are two reasons I didn't even hit on. Typically, a 3 month old hasn't even had all of their shots yet. But I don't even like going ot a midnight movie with my wife, let alone a newborn. The chances that something dangerous is going to happen rises about 5000% when you attend a midnight movie as opposed to a daytime movie.

My son was gone all last week so the wife and I saw a few movies, one of which was "Ted". I saw 8,9,10 year olds in there with their parents. WTH is going on these days
