[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen spends less time on social media than I spent watching soaps at her age. I’m a functional member of society. [/quote] I don’t remember the storylines of the soaps being tailored specifically to the specific proclivities and anxieties of each individual viewer. I don’t remember watching them on a handheld device everywhere I went—at school, at work, in bed at night. I don’t remember people commenting on the soaps, saying really terrible things to each other. I don’t remember the soaps being my main source of news in the world. I mean soap operas were no doubt a dumb waste of time, but there’s really no comparison otherwise.[/quote] My teens can watch in school or in bed. They have way more restrictions than I did. My parents worked and had the totally common “benign neglect” parenting style of the 80’s and 90’s. [/quote]
