ok ok I know I'm being unreasonable but just come back from watching Ice Age which is very good btw and all I heard all the way through the film was...

mum is that a squirel?
mum, can I go the the toilet?
mum, why is that elephant hairy?
mum I need a wee
mum, I don't want to sit next to him
mum I really need to go this time!!!!
mum, she's taken all the popcorn
mum why are the hamsters dancing
mum, I need a poo now
I don't like the monkey (include lots of crying with this statement)
daddy, can I sit on your knee?
how come he can sit on your knee when I can't?
I'm not too big, when's it my turn
mmmuuuuuummmmm can I go for a wee -I'm bursting!!

and they weren't my DCs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the family in front of us were up and down 6 times during the film -frustrating for them but their choice to take a 2&4 year old!

and breathe -now I have got that off my chest Grin

Quite a lot of places do autism-friendly screenings now McH, might be worth considering?

I take dd to the cinema on occasion for the children's screenings. She's 3.5, and with a popcorn nose bag will happily sit and laugh away at whatever movie is showing. She's excited by the lorax coming soon.
