I can't stress enough the importance of having date night and some adult fun when raising children. It's necessary for your sanity and it gives you time to socialize with other adults, as well as miss your young ones. What I also cannot stress enough of, are parents that simply don't take into account the consideration of other adults that took the time to get a sitter, so that they can enjoy a tantrum free environment.
After a wonderful weekend, my husband and I were discussing that there should be a new set of parenting social rules plastered on a variety of public locales, warning parents not to impede on the adult time of others. You've heard me fuss about obnoxious crying kids at happy hour and romantic restaurants. Now hear me roar about my #1 pet peeve location: movie theaters. If the movie is not rated G or made for kids, don't bring your kid in my movie, because I promise you, they'll get the two cry rule, then I'm marching right down to management to have you and your kid(s) kicked out! If the movie is loud, scary and/or action packed where the sound nearly scares the kid half to death, that's not healthy. Not only that, if your kid cries more than once, odds are, everyone in the theater is thinking, "Get that kid out of here." Lord knows when we watched you walk in with the baby carrier we're dreading it and judging already. I get it. You want to see the movie. Then either wait for it to come out on Redbox or hire a sitter, because if you're sitting in my theater and your kid cries more than once, I repeat, I'm having management kick you out! You have to make concessions when you have kids, just not in my movie!
