Babies In The Cinema – do you?

Five years ago, I was desperate to see the new Harry Potter film. I had a 3mth old baby which I didn’t want to leave with a sitter, so the husband and I decided to take her too. And it was fine – she slept most of the way through, woke at a few of the loud bits, and on the whole it was fine. But I was under no illusions – had she made any noise, I would have had to leave, as this was an evening showing, and the...

I’d probably have a pink fit if my 14 yr old daughter wanted to wear this to the beach. But put my 6 yr old in it? No, I don’t think so. This is NOT a young girls style, is it?
