Theater, yeah, they probably should get a babysitter, but parents can't leave their kids at home when they go out to eat and it's tedious to pay a babysitter for every single outing.
And what do you suggest parents do on a plane, leave their kid on another continent?Don't blame the parent. Babies are meant to be annoying so that someone will help them, if only to make them shut up.
I see your point here, but I seriously don't spend money to have a good time with my family or friends just to listen to a baby piss and scream it's head off, and I'm pretty sure the other people who have to tolerate and experience this don't necessarily appreciate it either.
Also, I'd vouch for leaving the child in another continent, besides, I understand someone would not want to hire a babysitter for every single outing, but babysitters are here for a reason, both for the parents and the unfortunate crowd's own peace of mind and to take a break, so I'd much prefer enjoy my trip to Jamaica instead of having to pat a pink goblin's back until it pukes over my shoulder.
