Baby in the cinema???

Just that really. DP and I went to the cinema last week. It was The Lego Movie and I fully expected it to be full of children (we were on our own). When we got there I saw a group of three women, five children between I would guess five and ten, and a baby of about nine months. When we got tickets and went into the movie, I noted the whole lot of them, including the baby. I made an effort to sit a good bit away from them as I could see what was coming. For the next two hours the baby had to be entertained, handed over three rows, cried and fussed. At no point was the baby taken out of the very loud movie though there were two other adults who could have watched the other children.

Help me. Is this a thing?? I found it really distracting. Maybe I'm in the wrong, but it seemed really bizarre to me.

You made out that people are entitled because they want to watch a film in silence. You are supposed to watch a film in silence. There's nothing entitled about that. Have you missed the warnings before single film at tbe cinema?

No, I just turned the question about entitlement round.

I have a 9 month old DD who actually enjoys watching movies - the lion king, little mermaid and 101 Dalmatians - she will sit on either the floor or next to me on the couch while watching it but I would not take her to the cinema due to how loud they are

Considering it's not entitled to expect to get what you pay for in a cinema turning the question around makes no sense.
