[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like how these threads always boil down to the shitty parents trying to make themselves feel better by asserting that all kids misbehave just as badly as theirs.[/quote]

Nah I get the opposite feeling - deluded parents who think they and their kids are perfect while anyone who handles complex problems differently to them are “pathetic” or “idiots” or “shitty” [sic].

In my experience, these holier than thou parents raise unimaginative and mean kids …. And the “I’m perfect and you’re an idiot” parents need help with more creative insults …[/quote]

What I get is parents sick to death of having the same conversation about phones, instagram, tik tok and other social media over and over again, and with parents who have the same excuse, “well all their friends have it” or “they’ll see it anyway.  Like stop with the lame excuses.  Kids see people drive that doesn’t mean we give them keys to a car at 11.  Kids know about sex(or should) by then also, but you’re condoning it for your kid nor are you getting them condoms and birth control yet.  If your kids friends were doing heroine would you still have the same excuse?  The reality is experts from Pediatrics, Psychology, and even Technology have said repeatedly that these things are not designed for kids and shouldn’t be used by kids. Not to mention, parents and teachers who-are already in the trenches warn folks of the dangers and drama associated.  Social media companies have created Terms and Conditions that explicitly say older than 13 or for some an adult 18yrs or older to protect them from liability. Yet still some parents keep acting like what’s the harm or there is no problem and then want to be all shocked when they see first hand the concern.

Kids will see and experience a variety of things, good and bad, with their friends and in life.  Thats part of growing up.  However, that doesn’t mean you as a parent have to provide ready access to it all.  And you certainly don’t have to condone it all.[/quote]
