My wife and I just had a baby 8 months ago. We used to go to the movie theatre at least once a week to enjoy a film. We both love movies, and it has been an important part of our relationship. Since our child's birth, we haven't gone to the theatre once, because we are so afraid he will cry out and disturb other viewers. When did all you seasoned parents find that you could safely walk into a movie theatre again?

That and much more...LOL
When did we walk into a movie again? Well I've been married 17 years and uh...NEVER.
Seriously, make the time right from the start because if you don't, you might never pick it up again.
Make time at least once every two weeks or once a month if that is too often..frankly it can't be often enough. Once the gap has widened it takes a long time to bridge again.
Why would you take the baby to a theatre? You need TIME OUT for you. Leave the baby at home with someone and take the time for yourself. Your relationship will be a lot healthier in the long run. The theatre is much too loud for a baby, and even a young child.
Most theatres now have a once a week showing of movies where they lower the volume so it doesn't hurt a baby's ear. It is WAY too loud and people should not bring babies into theatres.

My daughter was still an infant. We simply would go like to the mall walk around maybe do some shopping until she got tired then would duck into the theatre when she was asleep. The only onesdepriving you and your wife from seeing a movie are yourselves...stop blaming it on the child that you CHOSE to bring into the world. If you didn't WANT your movie going to be interrupted why did you get pregnant?

You could always leave your baby with a babysitter or some friends and then go to a movie alone. I think the child would have to be at lease 2 to be quiet in a movie. Or, they could be 1 and sleeping.

in case you may confirm who the mothers and fathers are and don't strategies the possibility a minor disagreement, the subsequent time all and sundry is disrupting your adventure, be at liberty to locate an usher and enable her or him understand what's happening. the staff comprehend that the happiness of many shoppers is extra significant than a self significant parent that may not detect a babysitter and could maximum probable help in having the parent get the infants below administration or have them got rid of. I went to confirm spider guy 3 recently and this dumb female would not supply up blathering on for roughly 20 minutes. I have been given bored stiff, have been given an usher, her boyfriend began to make a scene, risk-free practices escorted them out. It grow to be extra outstanding than the action picture. this is one element to snigger, or ooh and ahh, or despite quickly touching directly to the action picture. this is yet another completely to no longer close up approximately some irrelevant subject count loud sufficient for each guy or woman interior 3 rows in any direction to take heed to you. comparable element is going for different peoples brats while they are no longer mature sufficient or smart sufficient to confirm a toddler sitter has a purpose.

One word - BABYSITTER!
Pay someone to look after the child for a few hours, heck, go out for dinner and a movie too!
You need time for both of you, and if you know the babysitter is experienced with small children (not the 14yr old from next door) you wont have to worry.

You should go to the theater anytime you please, just because you have a baby doesn't mean you can't go. I'd rather hear a baby cry than hear the other people talking and we all know there's plenty of that. Just don't forget to take something to soften the sound for your baby, it's entirely to loud in there for them. Cotton balls will help but I'd recommend a good soft ear plug.

Although, I'm not a parent I remember when I first saw my first film. I'm the oldest and I was six when I first set foot in a movie theatre. My sisters were 4 and 3 so the youngst was 3. You guys may have to wait a while before you see another movie. Sorry.

In due time...I wouldn't reccommend taking the baby. You need to have a date night, get a sitter and enjoy some adult time. OH AND if you think one keeps you busy wait until you have more....

Only if the movie involves taking your kids with you.
