With 1 kid, you can pretty much execute anything as parents…
I said “children” - not a single daughter.

What I've deduced from this thread is that because I let my 3 year old watxh paw patrol he is going to become a socially reclusive furry.
I also guarantee that every who is saying no smart phone until 18 will be proven wrong. They will get one whether you green light it or not.
I suspect we will allow him to have one in his teenage years. I had shitty phones when I was younger but recognise almost everything is "smart" in some way. Just like alcohol, having hard lines on these things inevitably puts the kid at risk of going crazy when they finally get access to it (look at the kids who had never had a drink before college..) so there will be responsible conversations about limits.
Something that seems to be being normalised is kids swearing infront of parents, that will be dealt with quickly when he gets to that stage
The other thing is fizzy drinks, my sister told my nephew that sparkling water was a fizzy drink and he believed it. Even now(16) he isn't fussed about coke, Pepsi etc. Boils my piss seeing 3 year olds drinking bottles of full fat coke.

My son is 20 and is a gamer and is now making 50-60k a month as a game developer and doing what he loves to do. It doesn’t always turn out bad if you let them play games.
Not sure I buy this.
Average pay for game developers is upwards of $110k per year.
$50-60k per month is so far out of the norm that it makes zero sense.
Details are a little fuzzy, but I think I remember an old MB thread about this. Guys son was part of an indy developer (30% ownership?) for a Roblox? game that went viral.

100,000% correct. And if you restrict social media, and they are determined to have it, they're just going to set it up on someone else's phone. They'll create a G-mail account or whatever and have a thriving Snap account when they're not with you. And the fun part is that you'll never know it exists.
Teenagers are sneaky. Don't ever say, "but my little _____ would never ____." You'll be in for a rude awakening.
Once your child is in middle school, there is virtually no way to shield them from social media in some form, especially if your child wants it. It is much better to play offense on this topic and have frank discussions with your kids.

correct....but didnt you know the parents of 3 year olds and those without kids know......way way more than those living it or that just got done living it.
didnt you know....its perfectly normal and acceptable to not allow internet access until college...it creates really socially acceptable, well adjusted teens that are really ready to move away to college.
Both the arrogance and how naive some parents on here are is shocking.

That’s insane.

What if you meet them as an adult?
Makes me irrationally angry to be 30 and have people I’ve only just met insist I call them Mr or Mrs simply because they’re a generation older.
But I’m from the east coast so we have worse manners

SFP has damn near half a MILLION posts on TD. Is it possible his focus & attention will start dying and he'll frequent the boards less? Ah, one can only hope.

One of my FILs good friends was a peer of mine at work. At work it was first name only but outside of work I used Mr.

I’ll do it if they call me Mr back. But this weird subservient thing even when I’m an adult irks me. Again, not people I’ve known since I was a child. These are people I’m meeting as a damn 30 year old.
