[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are at an age when play dates are outgrown and hanging out happens.  What are you expecting them to do without TV, games or computers? They are not going to play hide and seek anymore.  I am truly sick of these old fashioned parents who forbid their kids to be normal 2017 kids and then complain about it.  You are creating a problem for you kids and then complaining about your kids not having friends.[/quote]

The old fashioned parents were always the parents of the crazy ones in college.  One of my college roommates was not only the daughter of old fashioned parents, but also the daughter of the local pastor.  Double whammy for them.  She'd never been allowed to attend any school dances or parties, was only allowed to watch 7th Heaven and Touched by an Angel (not even joking), and they didn't have the internet yet at her house.  This was back in the fall of 2000 and spring of 2001 semesters.  She would claim the TV in the common room and spend hours watching everything that had been forbidden before.  Then she discovered that she could get DVDs from Blockbuster in the mail and it was on!  If she wasn't watching hours of TV in the common room or our room, she was drunk and bringing home random guys.  Halfway through the spring semester my other suite mates and I were fed up with her crazy behavior and had scheduled a meeting with our RA, but before we could have it, the roommate got alcohol poisoning and the ER called her parents.  She must have lied and told her parents we corrupted her because as they left the suite after packing her stuff to take her home, they sneered, "we'll be praying for you ladies."  A few weeks later she called our other suite mate and said, "hey, um, my parents accidentally packed your birth control pills that you wanted me to hold for you, so um, don't have intercourse.  Kthanxbye."  That became our new running joke... "Emma, can you hold my Advil for me.  Don't have intercourse!  Kthanxbye."
