This is why I refused to take my children to movies or other social gatherings when they were too small to guarantee good behavior. We'd take them into restaurants, but rather than let them fuss I always made sure that they were sufficiently entertained that they didn't become a nuisance to the other customers. Sadly, a lot of other parents aren't quite so considerate of me.
I'm so glad you did this and yes, you are so right. Some people see themselves and their kids as special snowflakes who have the right to be as belligerent and annoying as they can be and if others don't like it,too bad.
My ex-wife complained about that once, saying she deserved to go out and do fun things too, and shouldn't be forced to miss out because she has children. I reminded her that while this is perfectly true, we chose to have children. Other people don't get to choose whether or not our children are responsible for making a fuss and ruining the experience for everyone. Since we couldn't afford a babysitter and didn't have family nearby to serve, we had to live with the consequences of our choices.
It didn't last forever, of course. Our children grew as children do, and they learned how to behave themselves in public. We were again free to participate in adult society.
