I agree with you. Some parents are too hands off. My daughter grew up with the PC in the living room where everyone could see what she was doing. No cell phone until she turned 15. Mostly, we just stayed involved in everything she did. Same with her daughter now.It was a different time but something thats lost today is the kids respect for their parents
I remember taking my son out and buying the OG Xbox and PS2 right around when he was 10 or so and again I guess a different time but I took that PS2 away when if his grades dipped
He sat out a year of playing baseball because of grades and if anyone knows me him missing baseball almost killed me
I remember reading about one of the kids that did a school shooting and they talked about how he spent hours in the garage making bombs. No way my kid was going to be in the garage for hours without me popping in to see how they were doing.
I also think games today have predatory practices to manipulate children, and some adults, into spending money or continuous grinding. I think it all started with EverQuest.
