Combining two life loves: the cinema and a baby

Babies and cinemas
Well, if you’re like me, combining the two major loves in your life can be a bit tricky. Mine are films and my family. Having recently had my second boy has re-opened the Mums and Bubs door. With my first nutter, I saw a few films and made the catastrophic mistake of seeing films that were too intense and complicated for my delicate post-labour brain. As a result, I fell asleep and cannot even remember what films they were. As I can’t prove my point, you’ll just have to believe me.
This time around, I’m going to choose more carefully. And shock of horrors, I might have to see films that are more mainstream than alternative. This could mean films with a more simplistic storyline, perhaps even bordering on predictability. Hmm, this of course, goes against my cinematic core and will be a massive adjustment, but to use a cliché, beggars can’t be choosers. I’m at the mercy of a few elements: sleep deprivation, brain drain, finding a babysitter for my toddler and local cinema offerings.
My first foray into this round of Mums and Bubs was to see Bridesmaids a few weeks ago. It went well; I snorted and guffawed my way through it. I stayed awake and my baby didn’t, it was perfect. I even ate chocolate. Wiig’s witty dilemmas amused and entertained me successfully. I’ll be doing it again soon, woo hoo.
