At this point, taking our child with us to a movie is out of the question, unless we decide to go to a drive-in theatre. Very few people would be pleased that a crying baby was disrupting their viewing of the latest Harrison Ford movie. I am not very familiar with the process of waiting for a movie to hit video. I enjoy viewing and critiquing movies, in particular the various Academy Award candidates and Independent films. Weekend dancing has also come to a screeching halt.
Dancing creates even more of a dilemma than movie viewing.
Within a couple of years, Andrew will be old enough to sit through and appreciate the latest film from Disney. Until he is twenty-one, however, he will not be able to go out dancing with us, which will probably not have much appeal to him by that age. My wife has quit working to stay home with our child. She felt that as a low paid pre-school teacher, it did not make much sense to get paid to watch other people's children while paying someone else to watch our child. I work full time and quite often bring work home.
