Harry Potter (and the Half-Blood Prince) happened with the co-workers. I liked the movie and couldn't agree more with BRangan's review. This is the second movie I'm watching in the theater since the Scout was born. The first was Star Trek, watched with the GI where I drooled over Spock (more the character of Spock, than the actor) while the GI drooled over Uhura (less the character and more the you-know-what :P) while Scout was home with the grandparents. The GI and I are also thinking of catching 'Up' on one of our days off (when Scout is in daycare) and that would be our round up of movies for this summer. 3 movies within the first year of the baby. Is that something I should be ashamed off (for going to a movie without the guilt of not being with the baby) or is that something I should be proud off for being there and doing that? I ask because when new parents meet there seems to be this boundary between 2 groups of parents -- the one who actually get a sitter to take care of the baby while they go do their own thing and the other who condemn such action as if it were sinfully wrong. Never has parenting been more analyzed than by the current gen parents, methinks. Me, right now, is happy to just go with the flow.

I just watched HP last night by myself (It was offered as MNO from my moms club with free movie tickets)
ReplyDeleteWe dont have babysitters because it can get expensive and we dont have the $$. however, we work out today at the gym. I am all for leaving the kids with babysitters if I could find one I trust :)
Definitely. I like to respect people for their parenting choices (even if I disagree with them) and not kill the matter to death about why there can be only one right way! :)
ReplyDelete"Never has parenting been more analyzed than by the current gen parents, methinks. " this is such a gyan-rich sentence.completely true!
