Couldn't see what category to put this on so stuck it on here for parents with kids opinions.
I went to the cinema the other night with some friends. 9.30pm showing of the new Venom film. As the adverts were starting in walk a couple with a baby (3 months at the most) and sat at the front. The baby immediately started crying and the parents made no attempt to take the baby out to the foyer. It eventually settled but after 3 more times of it crying, now during the actual film, a guy stood up and had a go at the parents.
The father got into a shouting match with this guy and eventually the parents did take their baby outside.
Just wondering what people's views on this are.
Mine is that it's completely inappropriate to bring a small child to an evening performance that will disrupt others enjoying the film.
I think it shows a very selfish attitude and if you are now parents you can't expect to do the same sorts of things you did before kids.
There are plenty of family friendly screenings if you don't want or can't pay for a sitter and I think the cinema should have a rule about it.
I also feel sorry for the baby's poor ears as it was a very loud film.
