One time I made a comment on fb about someone having a very small, crying child at a movie theater at 10pm. I got flamed really hard. One girl told me that someday when I have kids, then I'll understand. I'm pretty sure if/when I have children I will still be a considerate human being. Thanks for not making me feel like a super bitch.

A child at a movie at 10:00 at night?? Crazy. We've taken all 3 kids to the movie as babies but in the middle of a weekday when no one is there. If they cried, we left. Being a parent doesn't mean you can throw common courtesy out the window.

i hardcore judge when people bring babies/small kids to PG-13 movies. and then they talk/cry.
I get my hair and nails done and something called an i-Studio salon for this reason. For those that don't have them... they are all over the place in Orlando... they are private rooms that are so peaceful and quiet - just you and your hair or nail girl. I will never go to a regular nail or hair salon again lol.

I totally agree that nail and hair salons should be places where there is some peace and quiet. That means no kids, no phones, and no loud music.
I cannot believe you got shit for that FB post. If I'm paying $11 for an evening at the cinema, I don't want to be rudely interrupted by anyone. Most certainly not your child at 10 p.m. rated-R movie. The fuck. And, yes, you should be judging that situation harshly.
Bringing my child to a movie or salon would be torture for her. She is super energetic and determined. I would feel like such a bad mom making her sit there for hours while I got my hair done! I took her with me a couple months ago bc my hair stylist has one client at a time and my sitter canceled and it was miserable. Sometimes I miss the sleepy, transport them anywhere stage!

People are so inconsiderate!!! DH and I went and saw Noah a few months ago at a later evening show and two different couples brought their children. I'm talking a 2 yr old and a 5/6 yr old. That's just bad parenting.
I had to bring DD to a hair appt with me once for like 30 min until DH could get there to pick her up. I hated myself for it the entire time. She was pretty well behaved but I hated being that person. And it was totally not enjoyable for me.

I agree and rarely do I bring my children - yes I'm guilty, but only because my stylist will cut their hair for free and DH comes and watches them for me while I get my hair done or whisks them away after their cut. I do take DD to get her nails painted with me. She is 5 now, so she can behave while they finish me.
Now I get super judgey about taking a kid to a 10pm movie - my children would be basket cases if they were out that late. That's just insane to me.
One of my BFF's just opened her own salon about a year ago. She's also anti-kid in the salon. She has a sign on the door that says pets welcome, please leave children in the car. Obviously it's a joke (I hope most people take it that way). She also has a sign that says "Solicitors will be verbally abused", again another sign but they do give solicitors a good heckling when they try it. It's all in good fun but there's the underlying current of truth.
I do take my girls with me, but it's always with DH as well so someone is with them at all times and they bring books or iPads with them so they have something to do other than run around and be annoying. We book late appointments so most of the stylists are gone already and she also cuts the girls hair so it works out.
I would never ever take them to a late movie. I'm timid to take the older two (3.5 and 4.5) to any movie frankly but we've done a 10am movie without the baby before they did do really well. I'm just terrified of getting into a movie and having one of them melt down.

The kids I know are long asleep at home by 10pm.
When I have kids, they will also be home asleep then. Or at least not at the movies.
I feel like not having children yet makes me not have the right to even chime in on this or say anything. I can't yet relate to needing to find childcare etc to go to a mani/pedi or hair appt- but my thought on it is, if you have no choice but to bring your children and they are well behaved then I'm cool with it.
The thing that drives me nuts is when a kid is having a meltdown or is screaming and their parents are able to tune it out b/c they are used to it- I am not used to it and cannot tune it out so do something about it and figure out why they are freaking out or get up and walk out with them to calm the situation (this is worst in movie threaters).
Our honeymoon resort was pretty much all adults, but one couple had two young children with them, and although they were so well behaved (the point we didn't notice they were there when we did run into them), the one or two times one of them started to fuss, the parents immediately took them outside the restaurant to settle them down for a few minutes and brought them back in once they settled down. It was nice of them to be considerate of others around them and not try to just let the kid cry it out around everyone else that was there without their kids.
:::please don't flame me, I know it's hard and I know parents do the best they can to remedy the sitch::: lol
@natariru I could have written that myself! lol I just had this issue Thursday, the little girl was running around and her mom "fixed" the problem by strapping her into the stroller and moving her to the back letting her scream it out. Ugh! @blonde407 Will you share where you go; I'm going to need a place like yours!

I get my hair done at the iStudio in College Park... corner of Edgewater and Princeton, but my hair girl is moving to another studio with the same concept - can't think of the name of it right now, but it is off Gay Road across from the Winter Park Village. And I get my nails done at the iStudio in Maitland off Lake Lilly.
I mean, yes, childcare snafus happen but I'd cancel my appt before risking ruining everyone else's appts. A haircut is just not THAT important.
And on the flip side, it's important enough to me that I want to enjoy it. And that means leaving the kids at home. It would be miserable stressing my kid while I was enjoying a haircut!
