[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Rare near consensus on DCUM. This is my friend’s children. They are mid-upper elementary and she is ADAMANT.  Mine are slightly older (MS.) She’s not trying to delay until HS or restrict Instagram/TikTok. She is saying absolutely nothing until they leave for college, no exceptions. Will be interesting to see. [/quote]

My parents were really controlling and didn’t allow pop music in the house, junk food, etc. this was pre-internet days. It was horrible not understanding or being able to participate in conversation about tv shows, movies, music etc. I was perceived by others as babyish and immature. Was extremely socially isolated. It is abusive[/quote]

I agree. Totally controlling and abusive.

My mother used to get angry if she saw me watching / listening to pop music. She'd shout that it was "crap" or similar and a waste of time and insist it was stopped immediately. This always baffled me.[/quote]
