Ignorance! Argh!!!!

You are both adults and should act as adults when settling your differences. Your sister sounded really frustrated about what happened with the Downs Syndrome little girl and her mother. It should make us a little more thoughtful of others and about how we act in public as well.

I think you may need to consider a hotel, as you really aren't best placed to stay there - and going back to somebody purely because your little sister has the ability to drag you back into a fight like a six year old wouldn't be the best solution to your relationship issues, either.


Having said that, I must admit that had somebody swung at me, I would most likely have hospitalised them. And then booked a hotel.


And she won't last ten minutes working with children if she feels like that, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I didn't raise my voice at her once which only makes her angrier. I'm not a violent person, by swinging for me and missing just made her look like an idiot.

I don't think a hotel would be practical with my son in tow, I don't drive and in all honesty, my folks enjoy having their grandson here and I pay my way more than my sister does. Hopefully I'll be going home soon!

How can you accuse her of being ignorant when you are yourself ignorant of the actual situation that lead to the child and parent being ask to leave. Maybe the child was acting in a way that was frightening other children, maybe he was acting distressed who knows. You can't conclude from what was heard that discrimination took place. If there were less people jumping to conclusions and acting aggressively as a result, there would much less trouble all around.

The lady in question complained on the cinemas Facebook page that i liked a while ago. She said the staff asked her to leave because her daughter was laughing too loud.

I'm with your sister. She gave her opinion, you seem to have turned it into an argument because you didn't agree. She's entitled to her opinion. All sounds very childish.

Petty, very petty.

We all have blow ups, but to escalate so quickly to violence? You both sound like prime candidates for an episode of J Kyle - that poor 3 month old baby, what chance do they have growing up in an enviroment of violence and bad language?

I'm not sure why I should have to tolerate intolerance

But doesn't that make you intolerant also ?

How can a child laughing be distressing or frightening?

I just googled the story;

Staff told mother Ema Louise Brown that Sienna's laughing breached the cinema's 'noise policy' and asked her to leave and come back when the theatre was less busy.

If that's not ridiculous I dunno what its, and if someone had agreed with that infront of me I'd have a similar reaction to the OP - "it's my opinion" is not a valid excuse for discrimination.

So much anger & resentment. Your poor son & parents.

I would hate to live in a world where we would be forced to tolerate bigotry. For yhose who feel sorry for my son, he doesn't need your pity as I want to raise him knowing right from wrong and with compassion and love for others and confidence to say no to hate.

I think you should get over yourself. You're causing disagreements in somebody else's house. You're supposed to be the older sibling but you sound like you're 12 and a half. AND you're alleged to be a parent and preggers, too. Find somehere else to live and leave your parents in peace. I'm sure they had quite enough of your self-righteous smugness while you were a teenager.
