Like, seriously. It’s great that these parents are getting out and experiencing some culture or whatever, but hire a babysitter! Drop it off with grandma and grandpa! Do something, anything, besides bring it along. You’ll only have to leave when it starts making noise, anyway. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but babies are obnoxious enough in small environments that you can’t leave (like buses and airplanes), where you want to be able to hear (like movie theatres). But when it’s a small environment where you want to be able to hear, and their squalling can literally ruin the entire performance, bringing a baby crosses from nuisance to ‘what the hell were you thinking?’
And it’s not like a bus or plane, where the baby’s presence is essential, because the family is going some place. No. There is absolutely no need for the baby to be there.
*facepalm*
