Bringing infants into movie theaters is just a bad idea all around. The baby doesn't get a thing out of it and the sound levels generally set them to screaming. Travel, however, is a different story. It's not fair to inisist that babies can't go on flights. Families visit and babies should not be excluded, nor should a breast feeding mother be forced to bottle feed in public, on a plane or not. I don't enjoy hearing a baby scream on a flight, but I only get pissed off when some undisciplined kid between 3 and 6 screams his or her head off and the parents don't do a thing to make the kid shut up.
When I was that age, my mother made it very clear to me that when I was on an airplane, I had to act like I did in church: no screaming and carrying on and no kicking the seat in front of me. Parents today just don't understand or care that the rest of us do not find their horrid brat to be cute nor can we block out his or her shrieks. I have seen kids standing in their seats and just shrieking at the passengers behind them for entertainment and the parent acts oblivious to it. That makes me wish for sudden, violent turbulence...
