Babies - You are correct in assuming that babies are cute, but the cuteness dissapears when they start crying at the most inopportune time. This is disruptive to not only everyone else, but for either the father or mother who will have to take the screaming child out. Hire a baby-sitter or ask a family member to watch the child. You'll be doing everyone including the baby a favor.

Don't take kids to adult movies - If you want to see an R-rated love movie, leave your children at home. They will just become bored, make a lot of noise and run in-and-out of the theater, looking for something else to do. Don't ruin the experience for other people. Going to an evening or late show? Leave small children with a babysitter.

Don't leave your children - Handing your kids a couple bucks and telling them to hang out at the theater is the worst thing you can do as a parent. The movie theater is not set up as a day(night)-care center. These days with children dissapearing with greater frequency you would think parents wouldn't want to abandon their offspring. Allowing your children to run wild in a public theater shows poor parenting skills. You know they will misbehave and try to sneak into the first R-rated movie they can. If you don't want to watch your children, leave them with a relative. At least there, people aren't trying to enjoy a film.
