A woman recently spoke out about parents bringing young children to adult movies, arguing it's disrespectful to other attendees. She shared an experience at a 5:00 pm screening where a young child became restless and noisy within 30 minutes, disrupting others. While she empathized with the father's intentions, she stressed that understanding children’s attention spans and finding age-appropriate activities is crucial. The discussion sparked varied opinions on the suitability of certain movie times and the importance of considering a child’s needs when deciding to attend a movie theater.
"Can we normalize not taking young children to non-kids movies? We went to a 5:00 pm screening of a movie. That meant it finished at 7:30. The dad in the row behind us brought his child, who was maybe 3 years old. The poor kid lasted barely 30 minutes before he got bored."
"Not only is it not kind to other moviegoers, it's not fair to the child. He's bored, he's frustrated that he can't entertain himself and enjoy himself, he heard 'no' and 'stop' probably a hundred times in the remaining 1.5 hours."
