I just got back from watching spider man 3 and a couple sat behind me with a there 1 year old baby cant walk,cant talk,still drools and makes annoying sounds.the husband was quite before,during,and after the movie.but the wife really got on me and my friends nerves.Before it started she started going quack quack quack.For like 10 minutes nonstop and when it started it got worse.For the first 30 minutes the baby kept making sounds with his mouth like humming and spitting at the same time.after that the lady started talking to the baby.OMG.I felt like saying something,and so did my friends.and we all thought the same thing.Who brings a lil baby to a spider man movie.I mean ya it sounds a lil harsh but if you were ther youd kinda think the same thing.
should this be considered "very annoying"I cant wait to see what everyone has to say.

that was definitely an innapropriate place for a 1 yr old. They should have gotten a babysitter. I would have complained for sure! I hate it when parents bring infants into movie theatres. I know that there are some theatres that encourge parents but in reality, this is a money making scheme and the children should not be brought until they are ready to watch the kiddie stuff themselves. I also cant stand parents that bring 3-5 yr olds to rated R movies... they claim they dont know whats going on, but thats not the point. The kids are very disruptive and it is rude to the other people that are trying to watch the movie. They have the ratings on the movies for a reason.... Unless the child can sit through it quietly, they should not be brought to a movie... (unless its a childs movie of course) Good luck... Unfortunately, I dont think it will ever change... it will turn into some sort of discrimination case... Yes the person is/was stupid... Here's your sign haha :)

I personally think this is rude too, and I am a mother. My friend brings her 7 month old to movies and everything and I consider it rude. People pay to go see a movie and relax, not be distracted by a baby. Babies are wonderful, but a theatre is no place for them. At the very least, they should have sat in the back to make an easy and non-disruptive escape if the baby started getting out of hand. If it was me, I would have changed seats if others were available. Seriously, I understand that a couple has a right to go out and see a movie, but it shouldnt be at the expense of other patrons. If you're going to watch a movie with a noisy baby in your lap, might as well do it at home. Obviously they could afford a babysitter if they can afford to go to a movie, so why not do themselves and everyone else a favor and pay for a sitter.

I can relate to both you and the mother. I don't like it when I pay $12 to see a movie, and people jabber/kick my seat/block my view. But I also know how hard it is to stay home, every weekend, sometimes alone, when it seems the whole world is having fun and/or seeing movies. Babysitters are hard to find and expensive, and at least sometimes incompetent. So next time, try a little compassion; I'm sure she was desperate for some time out, or something along those lines. If it really bugs you you can always switch seats.

I have to agree, I would be annoyed. If they couldn't afford a babysitter then I don't think they shouldn't be spend their money on a movie. They should have spent time as a family somewhere else without having to annoy everyone. Maybe you could have said something to the lady, like she's really disturbing your concentration or something. I was surprised that my sister brought her 3 yr old to the movies, but it was cartoons and when her daughter started to make abit of noise she brought her daughter out of the theatre. I'm not a parent yet, but I guess it's just common sense.

As the mother of a one year old child I would never even think about doing this.
Not only is it rude to other patrons, but the volume in a movie theater is totally inappropriate for young children.
Thankfully there are theaters by my house that have mommy-and-me days- you can take your child to a matinee. The volume is not very loud and everyone brings their young children. There is talking and crying through the movie but they offer really cheap ticket prices and cheap popcorn and stuff- it's great for kids. I suggest other parents look into this.

They should have gotten a baby-sitter. My son is almost 3 and my husband and I have yet to even take him to a movie in a theater. A theater is also not a place for babies and young toddlers because it is so loud in them. It is not good for their delicate ears. It was insensitive on their part to disrupt others enjoyment by bringing their baby to the movie. If they can't afford a baby-sitter then they should not be spending $20 on movie tickets ($10 each in most towns)

It is annoying , but consider this they really wanted to watch the movie but had no one to watch the baby soon they brought the baby with them but as for talking and making funny noises was way over the top. Did the husband say anything? But i wouldn't go as far as to say that the person is stupid

Sure, it's annoying and I would have said something. They probably couldn't afford a sitter, but they should have sat in the very back so the mom could get up if the baby got too loud. She could go into the concession area with him. Many parents are in total denial about their kids... they think everyone will think they are just adorable, even in a movie. Not me !!!

i had a friend who brought her 3 month old to the ring
i think its ridiculous
i would never let my child be near movies for adults
people think becuase the baby is so young its ok but its not its not only annoying to u but in the long run will hurt the child
i dont think a baby should even be at a childrens movie they r too young to sit still n they dont wanna b there
i think after 2 movies r ok for children but not adult movies

I hate hate hate that too! Babies at a movie are a big no-no. Little kids at a grown up movie are bad too. When I went to see 300 there was a kid about six kicking the back of my seat the whole time. Why would you take a kid that young to see a movie that?
