When it comes to parenting styles, it seems like everyone has an opinion.
Little kids are pacified with phones in restaurants.
People can’t go to concerts or sporting events without holding their phones up to document them.
Even as someone who grew up before technology really took off, I find myself overly reliant on technology.
What will it look like 20-30 years from now?"

“You are not their friend.
You are their parent.
Doing this leads to unrealistic expectations from you as a parent.
Your little princess and sweet baby boy are going to have sex.
They are going to experiment.
They are going to do something illegal, even if its small.
Its not always someone elses fault.
Someone else isnt always the bad influence.
The bad influence might be them.”
“Using ‘divergent’ or ‘disorder’ instead of ‘different’.

Like dude, no kid is ever going to calm down from that.
“I see two huge differences with the children my two younger cousins are raising.
The second set of cousins has a kid who I will call Larry.
The parents fall to the idea of technology to help babysit Larry due to convenience.
Because of that, Larry is constantly on his laptop playing games or watching YouTube videos.
Keep in mind that these two kids are 10 years old, less than three months apart in age.
“The Momfluencer trend.
The camera becomes how they interact with their kids, which seems wrong.
“The overscheduling of YOUNG, young kids.
Not only that, the cost of extracurriculars now is EXORBITANT.
Even school extracurricular activities.
My middle daughter did competition cheer at two different gyms, varsity football, and competition at school.
Just the school cheer was close to $5k per year.
