AIBU to take 3mo to cinema with the dc's?

[3plus2]

Please don't slate me :) I'm just wondering if this would be wrong? She is a v good baby rarely cries unless tired or starving! I'm bfeeding so can't leave her with anyone she won't take a bottle of formula. I have an 8 an 4 yr old on the half term who desperately want to go and watch a kids film? Do I think it would be horrendous if I take bubbs too? If she cries I will slip out if we sit at the front I can have a quick escape ?

Cinemas aren't the place for tiny babies. Aren't you even bothered about the noise level?! Cinemas are ridiculously LOUD and definitely not good for a tiny's ears.
Also, I'd be mightily hacked off if I'd paid the nearly £9 for us all to get in (that'd be about £30 just for the tickets then, before popcorn!) to get in only to have a baby parked behind us who, if woke up, could make a lot of noise.
As let's face it, WOULD you automatically get straight up and leave your 8 and 4 yr old by themselves?
Apologies if you would but you'd be in a minority from what I've seen before - if a baby starts screaming, there's a bit of trying to calm first before admitting defeat and leaving.
Which is NOT fair on the other cinema goers.
Wait until it comes out on DVD in a few months if you really don't have anyone else to take the others who are 'desperate' to see it.
They'll still be seeing it that way.

HERE HERE WHIZZ!
Yeah and what if your baby does a dirty nappy?
Dont you mind stinking out the whole cinema?
You cannot expect an 8yr old to be in charge of a 4yr old if you do the nappy change anyway.

What riots do you think a 4 year old and 8 year will make in the 5 mins you leave to change a baby? If you can't trust 4 year old then they have to miss 5 mins of film to come with you

I am finding it hard to believe that some of the responses on here are coming from parents! I've heard two/three, hell even seven year olds have louder paddies in the cinema than a newborn baby, and a tantruming two year old is much much harder to shut up, believe me! Also, there are two year olds who shit themselves, and adults and children who, fart!!! Shouldn't they be allowed into the movies in case they make a smell?

My god, kids movies are for kids, and it stands to reason that some of these kids will be taken there by their parents who may well have newborn babies. Some of these parents may also be single parents who have no other support to take their kids out. I assume they should be banished to the world of soft play until their children can be guaranteed to sit silently and not smell for a couple of hours.

Get a fucking grip people!

Lil, the thread is about a three month old baby.
So are you saying that no one else can have an opinion?
Are you saying your opinion is the only right opinion? Looks like it.
Cos your getting pretty angry for no reason!!
Other posters have a right to their opinion too without been told to get a fucking grip How vile are you being?

in all fairness prudence,

the possibility that a baby may well have a dirty nappy at some point during a film and it may smell causing offence to other film watchers being used as an excuse to have a dig at someone wishing to go watch a kids film with her dc's

does seriously require getting a grip.

I have two children and managed not to take them to the cinema until they were old enough to sit through a film. It's one of those things you give up for a while when they are little.
In my experience people don't take their babies out when they cry. One cried all the way through Tangled.
Last week there was someone on MN who thought it was ok to take an 18 month old to Skyfall and some one else who couldn't understand why their 7 week wasn't welcome at a West End show. It's getting ridiculous.

I would not allow my baby to scream all the way through I have morals ! As for her stinking Jees thanks do u think I would jus sit there and let it ferment !? The 2 year old behind us was screaming hysterically but I was so into the film sad I know It didn't really make a difference lol! But if it was a more adult film which is harder to follow I may have had a different opinion!

What's getting ridiculous? People wanting to actually do stuff with their babies?

Bunch of bastards!

And my baby did sit all the way through, without making a sound, which is a lot more than can be said for the 3, 4, 5 year olds.

Christ I've even had to ask an adult to stop talking on their phone before.

Someone letting their baby cry all the way through a film (really?) is ridiculous. Why didn't you say something?

Funnily enough prudence, I had noticed what the thread was about before I posted, as I don't often blindly jump in without at least reading the OP first. That would just be silly now, wouldn't it.

And no, I'm not angry, just incredulous that some people on a parenting website seem to hate children so much. Now that is pretty vile I'd say. And attacking the op for wanting to have a day out at the cinema with all her children in half term when the weather is pretty disgusting, well, I'd say that is pretty vile too.

Oh, and never once have I said that anyone isn't allowed to have an opinion just that yours stinks Hope that's cleared things up.

Tbh, I'd rather sit next to a 3mo whose parent was prepared to take her out if necessary, than, as one poster mentioned, an 18mo who sits at the front so she can "walk around if she wants to". Why? That must be really bloody annoying.

Because they were the other side of the cinema and I kept thinking they would see sense.and take it out side.
There are a million and one things you can do with a baby, but the baby gets nothing out of the cinema or theatre at all.

For the whole what, 90 minutes? You were in there all that time with a baby crying non stop and you, or anyone else in the cinema, failed to say anything? Or get an usher to do it? coughbullshitcough

No, maybe not. But it's siblings who have maybe been feeling a little sidelined since the baby came along and god forbid, maybe even the parent too will.

I'm sure my baby enjoys being snuggled up on my chest for 2 hours but I agree, might get nothing out it but if it enables us, as a family, to maintain a bit of normality for our older son (we used to go almost weekly) and fills a rainy morning then I'll do it!

But she slept ? Oh wait no I should have taken her to Jo jingles, baby group or tumble tots or swimming ? But wait she can't as she is 3 months and would sleep anyway ? Nah Sod we can all sit at home and watch her sleep instead ! What exactly would a baby if this age rather do then ? Suggestions please ?

Oooooh a million and one things to do with a 3month old ? Hmmmm ?

Don't be so ignorant.
Yes the baby cried through most of the film.It was bloody annoying.

Well speak up then ! I would go get someone and say look mate a kid is screaming In there it's disturbing the film !? I understand it would b damn right unfair if she was making noise and as I said I would leave? But bringing in saying she may smell etc that's just petty and nasty

I took mine to a kids film and baby was very quiet and easy. Afterwards a few people came and chatted to me. They were so impressed with my son and hadn't realized he was there

Ignorant? Perhaps. But sitting in the cinema with a screaming baby for the whole length of the film and saying nothing is, well, stupid.

Obviously if he had cried I would have had to stand outside

If the parent is.ignorant enough to bring a baby to the cinema and let it cry they are not exactly going to be the most approachable type are they
If a sibling is feeling sidelined you don't take the baby along.

Ay? I feel this post now makes no sense ? It's been a loooooong day ! Again I would not have left her making noise that is unacceptable I would have prob taken 4 yr old out with me as she gets itchy and fidgety anyway and would love a chance to step outside for a bit . As for my 8 yr old she would b happy as pie sat there ha ha
