  • If you don’t watch what your kids play, your kids will find something inappropriate to play. This isn’t just a Roblox problem. Not suggesting Roblox shouldn’t have better moderation (holy hell should they) but this isn’t unexpected. Should it be? Maybe. Could they realistically do it? Probably not without some serious vetting changes—changes that would make “experience makers” have to wait to get their games approved.

    Lock down the accounts so they can’t see server chat or get messages from randoms. Only allow your (parent) account to add friends. Play with them. Be present, at least somewhat, when they play.

  • I’ll chime in and say that math teachers have said similar things about calculators/graphing calculators for 25+ years. This is most definitely you getting “old”. It’s okay—it happens to all of us.

    As far as attention span, that has been an equally common refrain—going back to people complaining that radio has reduced kids attention spans.

  • Oh, I most definitely love my kids. Seeing their thought processes always makes my day.

    But…I’m in exceptional circumstances. My son lost bowel and bladder control 2y ago (tumor on his spinal cord). Had to live in the hospital a year. Took its toll on our now 9yo daughter…

    And now, my son is STILL used to being woken up every couple of hours for blood pressure checks and who is also awoken at that point? Yep—me.

    I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested.

  • When my (then) 4 yo was undergoing chemo I had a goto line I used often when people would comment on my mask:

    You’re right. I should let my kid who has no immune system because he’s on chemo for cancer treatment just die then, right?

    Honestly, if you’re still masking and get flak, just say the above anyhow. You have my permission.

    Cherries with the pit are superior

    And I don’t mean because it’s stored “pre-pitted”. I have a cherry pitter and if it doesn’t have the pit, it just tastes off.
