Weird how I managed to be a kid without tablets and my parents survived.

    Weird how people didn't need two or more full time jobs to afford a family back then too.

    And look how that turned out.

    If you want to sing wheels on the bus with your kids for that five hour car ride, more power to you. You're a stronger mind than I. My kids are getting tablets.

    I think it worked perfectly. I have the perfect combination of self loathing and confidence to be a high earning professional who also believes that humans are wicked and should pursue our own extinction, so as to protect our non existent children from the inevitability of human suffering. Plus, my executive functioning is barely holding on even without early age screen time.

    Also it leaves me lots of time to care for them as they age. Win win.

    I had a screen since I was 6 in the 80s. An apple 2e. It turns out that screens are great for calming autistic ADHD folks. It's why many of us end up in IT. But I'm guessing it's why my exec function isn't horrible. Imagine living screen free all day??
