If you don't have a babysitter, then you shouldn't go to the movies!

I couldn't remember why it was that I never really cared whether I went to see a movie in the theaters or not. But tonight, I was reminded why: children of inappropriate age seeing inappropriate movies. For example, tonight I went to see Harry Potter. Why, at a PG-13 rated movie am I seeing infants in strollers and children clearly under the age of 3 at a 9pm showing of a movie? And why do you seat all of your young children together while you and your girlfriends sit next to each other, the closest adult 4 seats away from one of the youngest children? AND how is it that you want to see a movie so bad, that when your less than 1 year old starts to cry, you stand up and lean against the wall, trying to muffle the cries, all the while still watching the movie b/c you don't want to miss what happens!!!???!!!???

I like kids and understand that they too have the right to go to the movies. But they do not have the right to ruin it for the rest of us. So I urge you, parents of the world, if you come to the movies, leave your kids at home if they are not old enough to sit down and shut up for at least 2 hours at a time!!!

Thank you.
