All this fuss about a baby at comedy show. In order to be effective some performances demand that noise in the audience is controlled. Would you take a baby to a classical musical performance or an opera?

And all these false equivalences to restaurants and cafes. It's really not the same. People go to those places specifically to converse and make noise so it's not a problem there (or shouldn't be).

She deliberately went into the performance knowing it might be an issue, and then is shocked pikachu when she got booted.

She 100% would be the person who takes their baby to the movies (to see a non-kids film). The entitlement is off the charts.

Ironically, Ms Faranda was politely asked by hosts of The Project to hand her baby to her partner last night after the child's crying disrupted the interview.

HA!!
Yeah, I took the kids out all the time when they were babies. Shops, markets, cafes etc. I never took them to a cinema or a show, because that would be inconsiderate.

I'm all about parental rights, and absolutely all about parental facilities catering to dads. But my rights end at the point where they impinge on yours.

I took little miss seagoon to see bambi when she was five, matinee of course, at valhalla

I also took her to see Cats when she was about 7

here's the thing, by considering the needs of the child the child will be content and happy and easy , any place where where the child is going to miserable you don't take them and that also works out for the other people there

I feel so bad for that baby in the news

At five and seven there's a good chance you can regulate behavior. It also wasn't a comedy show targeted at adults.

The thing is when you make a mistake and everyone does, you say "I am sorry. I didn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable and I apologise" then you end it.

Munchausen by proxy... sorta

used the child to get attention for herself

The "fuss" is just media hype bullshit.

Also it was clearly advertised as 15plus. To me that's not just a content warning but an indication that it's not a kids event.
