What?

Mama seems to have Popeye’s forearms.

Not an impossible scenario, these days.

Too true to be funny, more of an ominous warning.

That’s part of the problem today

There ya go, start ’em early.

Good. Gorram. Grief…

I agree. I love it when the kids order $1000 worth of stuff and the parents are stuck with it. If you must give the kid an “electronic pacifier” get one that’s geared for kids and not a phone.

Yep

I suppose this is progress…. in the past, TV was the virtual babysitter.

And so it begins.

The new binky I presume

If you’re not freaked out enough, go to TED talks and look up James Bridle: The nightmare videos of childrens’ YouTube — and what’s wrong with the internet today

Phbtttt….

This is not funny at all, just sad because it is so true.

I saw that happen at a Sam’s Club

Whenever I notice a momma consistently interacting with her baby I let her know how refreshing she is.

Bad form…..

Watched a baby have a tantrum, fussing and screaming, not for Momma or Gramma, but for the phone. It was sickening.

I saw this happen just some weeks ago.

Electronic babysitter equals zero effective parenting.

While does not apply to a baby – there are also a lot of parents who have to let their children use their cell phones – especially for online – as the parents can’t figure this out, but the children can.

I have the feeling that most people who complain about “kids today” and “how things are done these days” are either parents with kids and thus the ones who should be educating “kids today”, or grandparents whose children are the parents of the “kids today” and responsible of “how things are being done today”; so if said parents don’t know how to educate is because they weren’t properly taught by you.

My bet is that a lot of complainers are actually part of the problem.
