don't think it was so much selfish, we all like a break from parental duties, however the cinema should have made it plain that as a certificate 15 film, the baby wouldn't have been allowed in.
Call our family weird, but my mother and I took twins who were about 2-3 months old ( cant remember exactly but too little to squirm about) to the cinema and they were quiet as mice throughout the whole film- didn't disturb anyone. I think this is an English people hate kids type of thing. I can't see a problem with it if they weren't disturbing anyone- she wasn't being selfish, she was just trying to have a life- not a crime.
why say English, please don't, as you couldn't tell an English person from any other, unless they tell you they are English specifically,
we don't hate children, and yes she is entitled to a life, and if the film had a 12 or under certificate it wouldn't have been a problem, i do concur with others that the sound alone can deafen an adult, let alone a new born.
and don't other nationalities reside in or visit Cambridge. On my last visit a few months back there were more tourists than you can shake a stick at, which is often the case, being on the tourist map, strange that this should be down to the English.
I'm not English bashing, but it just seems natural to refer to English if something happens in England. I mean if I had a road accident in Germany I bet you wouldn't say ' Oh those Greek Traffic Police are unhelpful' would you? Of course not. It's just natural to refer to the country of origin. To make you happy yes, it could have been any nationality at all at the cinema who asked her to leave.
I wouldn't call your family weird, just selfish. Luckily for you, and more importantly, everyone else those 2 kids stayed silent for 2 hours+. If you want an unfettered life, don't have kids.
its annoying to always being told English this, English that, when most wouldn't know an English person from a hole in the ground. The person who ejected the woman could as you say have been from any place.
does it matter, they were at fault.
Nothing selfish about it at all Svejk. Had they made a noise we would have left, totally unselfish imo and interestingly it's not something which is at all uncommon abroad, you see it quite often, just seems to be a problem here , which does swing us around to the notion that the BRITS have about kids. there are some really narrow child haters in the UK if you go out with children, as is demonstrated by your attitude. If my mother chooses to take her quiet, well behaved, children out with her and they don't disturb you, then what possible business is it of yours Svejk?
