For the wee one, 6mos, I can somewhat understand, especially if a breast feeding mother.
They can get ear infections, gas or whatever and not sleep very may regular consecutive hours at all— to feel comfortable leaving a sitter with a cranky baby.
The husband could work crazy hours or they live far away from family and aren’t comfortable leaving their baby with non-family.
Yes, the children come first but it is important for the parents to keep interest in each other and have some sort of adult time together.
Children need both parents and parents need personal attention and time together, too.
Both parents are crucial to raising that child and I think it is in the best interest of the child for parents to nurture their relationship together.
One day that child will leave the nest and the paresnts will again be back to each other, it is nicer if they are still together and not strangers.
I think some parents are somewhat sick in ignoring a partner just to make the child the center. There is a balance. Each parent and the child need the affection.
Maybe I am not with it but I didn’t think midnight was a high-traffic movie time.
Older kids, I have nothing for that.
They do midnight showing so when the brand new whatever big movie comes out on July 20 or whenever, they do a showing at 12:01 on opening day, so anyone who is there can be among the first to see it.
