  • Yeah it's the same as "the patriarchy hurts men too". It is worth pointing out in the sense that if some people aren't free then no-one is free, but it also feels like we shouldn't have to and we take the focus away from the ones that are most hurt.

  • If I say I do X and you say the healthier way is Y, that is a response to what I said and a judgment. If that's not what it is, you'd need to write it differently.

    Yeah the hard part is that there no real established science on this, it's the wild west online and we're approaching it slowly with open conversation and trust at an age appropriate level. There's some risk but that will always be true.

    It'll only be when we look back that we'll maybe know the right way but maybe not. Like a lot of things, it's very context dependent... the child, the family, the village, the relationships, the school, etc etc

  • You are really telling everyone how little you know about parenting. This is what parenting looks like. You parent the kids you have with the skills and tools available. It doesn't look the same for everyone.

    You should probably sit back down.

  • Yes, it's part of set them up to succeed not fail. And another part of it is I want them to have a clean break from the outside world, from friendship drama or clinginess, from school stuff, etc. Digital switch off isn't something people are good at doing by themselves as adults!

  • This has been so good for me and my kid. If they are out and feel like they need adult help, we are a watch tap away. If they want to come home early from a friend's house, send me a code and I'm there. If they want to go to their friend's house after school, I'm a text away.

    We have a no phone until you're 13 rule so while the watch is a stripped down phone, it's not a phone so easy for us all to understand, plus it's already stripped down, no hassle no fuss.
