[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kind of breaking my heart because my SIL could be you and would write about herself the same way, except that from the outside it’s clear that she’s crossed into alcohol abuse/alcoholism. And my nephews aren’t getting all of the support they need because the iPad has been the default for a decade and it works, but it’s taken away opportunities they might have had to connect to people in their own way. So now they’re very isolated and lonely.

So I guess just be careful…it’s a fine line and I admire your awarensss but also worry about you.[/quote]

Not to worry. OP here. I drink one drink once a week if at all. I’m more likely to be handicapped by weight gain and my love of chocolate covered pretzels. Holidays are exceptions when I might have 2 drinks.

The kid gets iPad time but is also in a special school and activities and therapies. They will infodump about special interests. Current obsession is neopronouns for queer folx. They will tell you all about them and correct you fiercely when you misunderstand.

We are bringing this neurospicy show to a small conservative town in a swing state and my kid has limited understanding of social nuance. More drinks for everyone! More iPad time for the kid! [/quote]
