Ti think that if your child starts crying during a film you should take them out?

Toddler/preschooler (maybe 3?) crying at regular intervals during How To Train Your Dragon.

FFS, if one of your children is screaming, take them out.

I was there with DSs (11 & 9) and DD (4). Now, DD wasn't impeccably behaved but she was quiet and restricted to the empty area round our seats (cinema well under half full). Had she been loud I would have taken her out.

Gah!

YANBU.

I agree totally. DS and DD are 6 and 4 and if either was making a noise loud enough to disturb others, we would all go out.

YABU. I wouldn't want to move, I've paid for my ticket en I? Someone might take my popcorn while I'm gone and then I won't have nuffink to eat!!!

It's a PG film - i would not take my 3 yo to a PG film unless they'd already seen it at home and werent scared by it. i don't understand this fashion for taking small children to PG films, there can be some really scary bits in them, not to mention the scale and volume of it.
Over the Easter holidays there was nothing on in Edinburgh for kids that was a 'U' rating - why?????

£32 it cost us to listen to the screeching child. Plus £5 for fecking popcorn which they bickered about.

I would have been happy to feed the child to one of the dragons myself TBH

Have to confess, I never looked at the rating. DD is a 3rd born so very robust as far as films are concerned.

YANBU. Drives me mad. Hate having little ones running up and down the aisles and across the front of the screen too. Argh!

You would think that. However when I worked as an usherette back in the day some brat kept crying squawking and generally disrupting the film, so I sssshhhed as you do, the mother then after the film complained that her PFB got shushed and spoiled everyones enjoyment and stated she felt like 'punching me in the face'
I dont know who the hell some people are that they think their little shit darling is so precious it doesnt matter who's peace/quiet/enjoyment they spoil.

YANBU - if they cry take them out of the cinema. I don't like listening to my own and I sure as hell don't want to hear anyone elses.

Also I agree with Hulababy - I can't stand small children running around the cinema. Farking annoying.
