I don’t think we took our two-year old to an indoor movie, ever. Eating out was dicey...

A 2-year old can not sit quietly through a 90-120 minute film. It's just more than their little attention spans can handle.

This being said, clearly throwing popcorn at them was the wrong response.

They didn’t take the 2 year-old to see the movie. They took the 2 year-old because the mother wanted to see the movie and she didn’t care if the child ruined everyone’s else time.

What about me?

Yup. They should have rammed the empty popcorn carton on her head once emptied. /no sarc

Wifey and I stopped going to the theaters over 20 years ago because of the thoughtless and inconsiderate slobs that now infest theaters.

As a rule, I agree with you, however, years ago, we took our kids to see E.T. The 18 month old sat on my lap with his eyes glued to the screen, and NEVER MOVED A MUSCLE, never made a sound, for the entire movie.

That’s why the parent should be clobbered, not the child.

I gave up on movie theaters a long time ago.

“”A 2-year old can not sit quietly through a 90-120 minute film. It’s just more than their little attention spans can handle.””

Heck - even a 5-6 year old will squirm until you go mad!!

“”This being said, clearly throwing popcorn at them was the wrong response.””

Definitely - do I have to guess the “race” of the idiot? I’ll be surprised if I’m wrong - unless rudeness has permeated our society so badly, you can’t tell anymore!
