im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
also the reason why archie renaux isn’t getting the attention he deserves is bc i firmly believe he’s a man born just a little bit too late to have been a teenage heartthrob in 2012. he EXISTS to have been cast in the hunger games, district 12, he belongs in a zombie survival movie, he should be in some kind of vague apocalypse where he lives to remind you that good-hearted, wholesome, farm-strong ethnically ambiguous boys will survive all sorts of world-rending horrors to blink softly at you and hold you in their tan, approachably-muscled arms. the world moved on too quickly to appreciate show mal but im still here!!
This needs a follow-up “and how old are you now” because when I was twelve we didn’t even have flip phones and the iPhone didn’t come out until I was in the eighteen+ bracket. Failing that maybe we should just have an “I’m too old for this poll” category.
Yeah, I was, uh… *counts fingers* … 30.
Do we mean “got your own wired phone in your room that you didn’t have to share with anybody” or “got a cellphone”? Because those are two different things.
