Because a lot of parents are unqualified to raise their own kids.

Never understood the problem with smartphones at a dinner table. Some people act like they're being disrespected if they see a smartphone out.

Nobody bitched when gramps read the newspaper at the head of the table.

If there's more than 2 or 3 people at the table there will be more than one conversation going on anyways, not some deep important all-inclusive discussion.

So quit being dramatic. It's dinner. You're supposed to eat. Talking/newspapers/smartphones are all distractions from eating.


And fwiw I don't use a smartphone at the table.

They don't need crayons?!? At 8-10 years old I was killing the kids menu with crayons! Doing mazes, tic tac toe, drawing dicks on the murial page. You sound like a gay.

I have something called Buzztime that is a Samsung tablet with games loaded for kids as well as trivia and poker for adults. Parents come in for it because they can enjoy a meal in peace with them.

Haha, we'll forgive my assumption. We take the kids out to eat once a month. If I did not give my seven year old something to keep him occupied he would burn the place down. At home it's pretty much under 30 minutes of tv/electronics per day though.


So you can't control your child.
