No, it's not okay to take a baby into a movie theatre!

[babybrooks07]

So, I'm sure you've all heard about the parents that took their three or so month old out to the midnight showing of batman when the shooting happened. There've been a few debates on my Facebook with people discussing if it's ok to bring an infant to a midnight movie theatre. Well, some parents are arguing, saying the baby is fine cause it just sleeps through the movie, or how not everyone has a babysitter to go at that time. Um, who cares?! If you don't have a babysitter, don't go to the movies! There is NO excuse to bring a brand new baby to a movie theatre! I leave those places with my ears hurting from how loud it is, I can't imagine what that baby would be going through. Not to mention, that baby should be sleeping at home, not out in the cold standing in line and then a theatre for hours! When you are a parent, you have to give some things up, that's what being a parent means. I can't believe how selfish some people are.
Edit: I am in no way saying this is what I got out of the event that occurred. What happened was a tragic event, and my hearts go out to the families. All I'm talking about, is the light that was shed onto the situation from this. It's just a discussion about weither or not it's ok to bring an infant to a movie theater.

Um, babies are used to LIVING in a womb that's as loud as a vacuum. Why do you care what other people do?

This exactly.

 You are absolutely right. I agree with every single sentence of your post. Those are same things I've thought.

Would I have done it, no.  But if some else did it, I would let them be.  Now if the baby started to fuss or smell and the parents did nothing then I would say something.

You're telling me!! 

Seriously.. My son is 20 months old and he has never been in a movie theatre. I have gone on 2 dates since he was born and I got a BABY SITTER to do it. The second date was actually yesterday to go see the new Batman movie which I will admit, I was a little bummed about because of what happened in Aurora..

Anyways, we are on a tight budget.. we have had only TWO dates in two years and had to save up and plan for both of them ( sorry we aren't all wealthy and get to splurge all the time ).. So we are on our long awaited date and in the theatre ( which is surprisingly empty ) and then two parents walk in with some younger children and the mom is carrying a infant carseat.. UGHHH..

Just thought I would add, the baby cried off and on for the first 40 minutes of the movie and it was most definitley a newborn baby.. Why do that to the baby? or yourselves? or every other GODDAMN person who just payed a ridiculous price to watch a move.. Including myself and my SO who have waited and worked so hard to enjoy the experience..

My SO almost got upset and flipped out, but thank god I kept him quiet about it and the baby fell asleep. I don't like to confront people if I don't have to either.. It was still very irritating. 

I waited, so why couldn't they? If it is so important to see the movie, get a baby-sitter!!!

Who are you to say what is/isn't ok for another parent to do with THEIR child? It's amazing to me the fact that parents taking their young children to the movies has become more of an issue than the fact people were murdered! So sad.

Better than bringing the kid to the bar with ya.

Same. Some people's children are used to loud noises all the time, it is a parenting choice, not a crime, and those people deserve love, prayer, and compassion right now, not judgement. Shame on the people who think it's okay to do this. What if that woman gets on cafemom? I mean come on. Can you not get off of your ivory pedestal for a awhile and give them time to grieve before you try to supermom your way up?
