Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Nope. Teens don't know better. I give them more leeway because they're young and ignorant. They're assholes, but going to the movies as a teenager is a defacto answer for "what should we do tonight", plus they don't have a ton of money so usually going to a nicer theater weeds most of them out.
Parents should know how their actions affect others, and everyone knows bringing a child to an adult movie will cause problems. I stick by what I said, if a parent wants to see it, schedule a date night or night with friends and get a sitter, or wait until it can be watched at home.
Completely agree. I thought it was pretty well known that once you have kids your life changes and you now have to make sacrifices. Some parents clearly don't feel that way, and those people are selfish assholes.
There's a reason I never had children of my own; because I know I'm selfish and enjoy my freedom too much. If you too want the freedom of someone without kids, it'll either cost you in childcare, or you better have a strong family support system
That's the number one excuse I see, including in this thread. "Parenthood just changes your life so much". Right. Your life. Not mine. So the whole "It just affects us so much, we can't get out much". Right, was that a secret before you decided to have kids? I know that, it's why I'm not having kids, because I enjoy doing things like going out regularly to places kids can't be at, traveling, and generally having a quiet house. Call me selfish, but I know what I want and I'm not going to bring kids into this world if I know I'm going to resent them for changing my life.
