Many of these topics come up frequently on here. Some of them, such as using a darn app for everything are simply a sign of the times but these are ones that completely resonate with me (and I'm Gen X)
1). People spend WAY too much time on social media. Not every second needs to be posted.
15). Young children spend WAY too much time on tablets or other devices. I get you can get your 3 year old to by handing them a tablet but...
16). Children are being brainwashed by TikTok and other social media in the sense they can't focus on anything for more than a few seconds. Kids today expect instant gratification.
18). People posting everything online, especially every moment of their child's life. I feel as though people who do this become addicted to the attention through "likes" and comments that help their fragile egos into reinforcing they are a great parent (and that their kid is the most phenomenal kid in the world). Not everything you or your kid does is the absolute best thing ever.
19). Just because you can contact me 24/7 does not mean you should. People need time to unplug. All of this anxiety we hear about has to be related to people being plugged in 24/7.
23). Kids need to learn to be self reliant. Not all, but I see too many parents raising absolute b&tches but in their mind they are "crushing it" as parents because they post everything on social media and get "likes" and friendly BS comments (see #18). Have your kid do chores, get a job, and be accountable.
23). Five-year-olds do not need smart phones (or any phone). Heck, neither do 10-year-olds for that matter.
25). Quit being so loud in public. Be respectful of others around you. Do not talk loudly on your phone or play games with the sound on. Don't use the speakerphone. Don't play music without earbuds. Nothing is more annoying than "bluetooth guy."
