Last night Kurt and I had our first date without ANY of our kids. We went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Now I'm not going to give my opinion on the movie as you may have thought. I am just going to say that we loved it even though it may have omitted something I was expecting and added something that wasn't in the book. It was also more funny than the other Potter movies. But moving on, as I had said we didn't have ANY of our kids with us. And right before the movie started I noticed that there were two babies in the theater. A theater employee did his little speech and in it asked that if anybody had crying babies to take them out to the lobby until they have quieted down. Being a mother of three we've never shied away from taking our children to the movies. They have MOSTLY always been good. During the movie one of the babies started to fuss. It didn't bother me because I always hear kids fussing and I've learned to tune them out if they are not my child. When it started to get bad somebody got up with the baby and stood with him/her in the hallway. The fussing turned into cute baby talk and really wasn't distracting... to me. After five minutes of the baby talk a lady from the audience yelled, "Will you please quiet down that baby!"
THIS is was bugged me! The other couple that had the quiet baby started yelling at the lady to leave if she couldn't hear, the whole audience had a, "Ohh!" moment and it distracted A LOT more than that baby ever did. I do believe though that it had to be pretty annoying for the people who were sitting by the talking baby but the lady who yelled was further away. And I do believe that if your baby is a big disturbance to take it out but I personally wasn't disturbed. So my question to you is what would do, say, who would you be? The yelling mom or the yelling lady?
