Sweeney Todd SUCKED

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I'll make my own decision about the movie after I see it.
 
 I Am Legend was bleck.
 
 The best part was seeing this:

something i haven't figured out yet: when you have a baby, are both parents joined at the hip for the first year?  can one not cover for the other for a few hours, so that either mom or dad can go catch a movie, or a concert, etc?  i think i'd need the occational evening to myself to preserve my sanity, but i don't have kids so what do i know... i have no doubt that i'll have to revisit this "need" if/when the time comes.

Probably too much info but here it goes...
 
 My wife chose to breastfeed exclusively (no bottle, no formula). Our daughter is a voracious eater. Could she go two or three hours without food in the company of just dad? Probably, but my wife would be so worried about it that she probably wouldn't enjoy the movie. Plus, she's not a go to the movies by herself type of person. Part of the pleasure for her is my company, if you can believe that. She does go running and leaves the baby with me, but that's for a shorter period of time.
 
 I'm not lactating, so my presence isn't as crucial. Thus, I'm allowed to go to shows on my own (or with friends), but not movies.

Of course I spend a lot of time with the family, but if one of us wants to do something no biggie.
 
 It was actually easier the first year.  My wife breast fed but also pumped, so if she was gone i could feed.
 
 Infants are a piece of cake to take care of though, except for the sleeping issues, having to wake up with them for feeding etc.
 
 Much harder staying home alone with a couple toddlers or pre-schoolers.  That's when shit gets nuts.  It's fun though.  They're a riot most of the time.  
 
 I give parenthood 2 big thumbs up.  But your life is definately not all yours anymore.

That can be solved by having the baby share the bed or in a cosleeper attached to the bed on mom's side.
 
 The part about the toddler acting nuts...well I'm hoping that having only one will help, and the fact that she's a girl will help, and keeping her away from too much sugar and other shit foods will help...but probably won't.

In my experience, having a toddler is easier because once they go to bed, they're *usually* done for the night, whereas babies have no sense of timing and usually require attention every couple hours at least. I can pretty much plan on my 3-year-old being down for the count by 8:00 pm every night, so I'm able to do movies, concerts, games, exercise, etc. after that. The first year, I barely got out to do anything (my wife is a homebody so she's fine not going out at all). So everything is just perfect exactly the way it is, exactly the way it is.
 
 Oh wait, we've got another kid on the way. Shit. I mean, yay! If the Jesus & Mary Chain, Comets on Fire, or Earthless schedule a DC date any time between May and October, I'll be pissed.
 
 And THAT is what I think of Sweeney Todd.

[sweetcell]

once again, congrats relaxer!    and if any of those bands do roll through, i promise to post detailed reviews of how great the show was.  i can pick up a t-shirt for you if you want.

[brennser]

awesome threadjack!! all the proud boardie parents!!
 
 congrats Relaxer on #2. One was easy for us, two has consistently and repeatedly kicked our ass!! And Chaz is right, you're time is definitely not your own any more.
 
 With our limited nights out we'd rather go for a meal or see a show than see a movie. Excluding kids films which we are seeing more of we've probably averaged 1 movie in a theatre a year for the last 6 years.....Netflix rulezzzzz

Last night's Sweeney Tood was, without a doubt, the worst movie ever. Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world.

You pretty much just described my life .  The problem is that if you want to do something after bedtime, you are still faced with the reality that the kid will still wake up at 6:00 am saying "Wooo! Wooo!  I'm a fire truck!!"  (At least that's how it is in my house)

And don't forget the things toddlers say or questions they ask? My boy has me in stitches with some of the stuff he comes out with.

Of course, I didnt even bother staying for the whole thing. thats just how bad it was.
 I havnt seen I am Legend tho, just think any random movie might be better then this one.
