Pet Peeve

I know we all have a few..... One of mine is RUDE people. I know I have been rude a time or two in my life. I am not saying I am perfect, but I think my friend onehm is right, I must have sign on my head that says be rude to me. I have a large family and I know they are all little. I know that better than anyone would!!! I care for them day in and day out. I pride myself though in being able to take the whole family out. I do not want to be house bound just because I have a family. I can take my entire family out to a sit down restaurant and have a fabulous time. My two year old can order his own food and knows when to say please and thank you. Waiters get a kick out of it. Don't get me wrong, I have also taken that same two year old out of the restaurant to put his screaming nose against the wall. For the most part though, public outings with my crew are some what eventless. I have strollers and boundries and I do my best to enforce good manners. So today I decide it would be fun to go see this movie.

I call and invite my parents and my sister. My dad invites my Brother his two kids and my Dad's best friend. Let's count the adults. That is 7 adults and 9 kids. Seems like we have it covered. WE DID..... The child free couple in front of us who chose to come to a childrens movie at 11:00 am were NOT happy with me or my brood. There are some scary parts in this movie, and kids need their snacks and popcorn refilled from time to time. This requires them leaving their seat to sit on my lap or grandmas or to ask for a refill. They are very quiet about it. Every time a child of mine got near them or their seat they turned around and glared at me.I think I counted a total of 12 times. I could maybe understand if they were loud or bumping their chair or hitting them in the head . None of this happened.  When the movie was over the man stood up grabbed his wife's hand and just stared his eveil stare and then stomped out of the theatre. I turned to my Mom  and asked if it was just me or was that man soooo rude. Look, if you do not want to have to deal with kids in a KID movie then go in the evening when it's less likely small people will be there. This is their world too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
