I go out to the theater and pay $20 for the ticket at an RPX showing and this family brings like a five year old with them... People, everyone paid $20 mutha cussing dollars! I did that to see a movie not hear your kid non stop for an hour. I got up told the parents to their face that I thanked them for wasting my money (dramatic, sure since the theater gave me a pass to come back, but it felt good to tell them) and then I walked out.
I don't blame kids for this. We are all ****ing wackos with no self control at those ages, but when a parent or parents do NOTHING to stop a child from acting out you aren't setting a good example to the child. Theaters are a public place for Christ sake. One in which other people are spending hard earned dollars to be at. As a parent you out to know better.
