Because they're retarded.
People are really incon-fucking-siderate these days, and I also find it irritating as hell when some hellspawn is screaming at the top of their lungs and the "parent" is doing either nothing, or mollycoddling the monster. As mentioned above, on the occasions when my son does it, the first thing I do is take him away so that he is bothering as few people as possible before disciplining him. Case does the same. I think she took issue with the statement below:
Curious -- why not "5 times [spanking] on your bottom"?
and that strikes a nerve with both of us, mostly because my drunken absentee father can't grasp the concept of alternatives to spanking and loudly voices his opinion whenever possible.
Point is, regardless of how you discipine a child, you need to be consistent with it. It's not only a waste of time to make idle threats, but damaging to the kid in the long run. If you tell your kid you're gonna put em in time out, FUCKING DO IT. At the grocery store, at a restaurant, wherever.
And yeah, a movie theatre is usually an inappropriate place for a young child. Exception: Finding Nemo (or some similar kid movie) at a matinee or early evening showing. You might as well expect that. Sometimes it happens.
I do wish they would put one of those 21 and up theatres here, it's a great solution to the problem, and all movies are better when you're getting tanked.
