Breaking Dawn w/ Baby

pennysuedog · November 2011

I've decided me and Dh are going to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn, but we have to bring Violet. I don't want to p!ss off other Twihards with a crying baby but she has seen 2 other movies in the theater and has done great not a peep out her, so we are going! Anyone else going?

I've thought about it but decided I would be upset if I had to leave and miss the movie because she had a breakdown! I'm worried it will be a little too loud for her

Instead, I'm going to a matinee on Friday that hopefully won't be super crowded and leaving DD with DH for a few hours

I'm jealous! I don't know when I will be able to go. I'm hoping the small theater where my in-laws live will get it, and DH and I can go see it when we are visiting while Grandma and Grandpa keep DD.

I am going with my friends and leaving him at home with his dad. We were thinking about going to the stars and strollers show, but leaving him with dad gives me a little break and I can really enjoy the movie. If your LO sleeps through the movie though that is awesome, I wouldn't trust him to sleep through it because evening is his fussy time.

I hate when people take babies to movies, I think it's really rude.

This, unless it's stars and strollers. Think about yourself before you had a baby. Wouldn't you have been annoyed if you had paid to see a movie, and a baby was crying and fussing through it? Even if you take the baby out immediately, you'd have to get to the end of the row, walk down the stairs, etc. It's very distracting.

So do I, and I have to say, I would especially judge someone who brought a baby to a midnight showing.

I'm not trying to be mean, I totally get being excited to see a movie, but seriously? You can't wait until the next day and get a sitter?

My first job was in a movie theater and people always brought babies to midnight showings because they'd "sleep through it" then get sh!tty when we wouldn't refund their money when we had to kick them out or they had to leave because their "quiet" baby wouldn't stop crying. Well yeah, the noise is bothering them. Theaters are loud.

I go to hockey games with my son all the time-I feed him right before we leave, wear him in the Ergo carrier the whole time, and put baby headphones on him. He sleeps through the entire game...we have discussed doing the same thing to go to a movie but haven't tried yet. I would recommend maybe trying this at a matinee showing of a movie that has been out for a while (and therefor likely to have fewer people in the theater)...

MrsClark8109 · November 2011

There is no way I'd take babies to a movie theater (ok maybe the cheap theater where tickets are like $3) but at the new release theater where tickets are $8-9 I would seriously side eye someone bringing in an infant...even if they took them out when they started sqwaking the in and out a few times and the couple minutes of sqwaking would annoy me so I just dont want to be that person...

I'm not tolerant of other peoples children, so I dont expect other people to be tolerant of mine---which definately gives me anxiety about taking them places...

DH and I are more than likely going to go, but we are leaving Norah with my parents. It would stress me out to take her with us right now and I think it will do DH and I some good to have a few hours out together.

SharonWantsABaby · November 2011

Anyone who goes to a midnight showing CARES about that f*cking movie, right?

Can you imagine being a die-hard twilight fan, waiting in line for tickets to the VERY first showing you can possibly go to, having waited years and years for the wedding scene and some kid starts screeching right before they say I do?

Dude, I'd be afraid if I were you. Side-eye is best case scenario, being ripped to shreds by 16 year old girls is worst case.

Sorry, but I have to agree. I'll admit to being judgy here but NO FRIGGIN WAY, lady.

DF and I are going together early evening on Fri and leaving DD with my parents for a few hrs. It'll be our first PP date without DD.

Psssh. My girlfriends and I took DD to New Moon when she was a few weeks old and it was no biggie. I wore her in the moby and sat on the end seat in the back so I could stand up and sway if I needed to.

Plus there were plenty of other babies there (saturday evening showing). You're not the only twihard who has a kid!

Brosamle2 · November 2011

I'm going to see it on Saturday or Sunday during the day and leaving DD at home with DH. I would never bring a newborn to a movie. That's just me though. My LO cries a lot and I know she would probably have a meltdown right in the middle of it, and I don't want to miss a minute of Breaking Dawn having to take her out until she's calmed down.

Me and My H are going to take our little man to the drive in, that way if he gets fussy he wont be bothering anybody.

LOVE that idea...wish we had a drive-in around here. I would love to see a movie but, as I said earlier I woult side-eye someone taking a baby to a movie so I refuse to be that person. I love my children and will put up with their shenanigans but I don't expect others to.

My 7 week old is going to be a lot less annoying than all the 13 years olds that I know will be there. Flame me all you want. We have tried her out with 2 other movies so far and like I said not a peep. I really could care less about side glances. I have taken all my kids as newborns to movies and never had an issue where I had to leave, just stick the boob in and they are good to go. When they get a little older it is impossible to go with out distracting others but at this age she will sleep through the whole thing. Have fun at your matinees! Stick out tongue My baby is team Edward!
