[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our niece was like this. She’s a more or less well-adjusted 8 year old now.[/quote] I’m just annoyed, Why make us feel bad about wanting to do our own thing? [/quote] Maybe they didn’t realize that it would be so hard to get their child to engage. They may have thought that this one activity with the other kids - woukdxbecrnoughbtonoull him away from the device. It sounds like it’s their first/only child, and at just2.5 he’s prob only been able to hold the device for at most 6 months., I’d give the parents a break and a and the benefit of the doubt. Maybe this interaction will get them to admit personally or realize forget need to figure out how to parent differently. None of us gets a rule book :) and the devices are getting more and more addictive - which they may not have known. Also your 3yo has older siblings. Who is to say that you weren’t criticized for they way you parented your oldest when they were 2. [/quote]
