Ask HN: Parenting App Idea
for those of you with kids, would use like an App your kids can use to interrupt you while you're working. i.e. they want your attention and you want to keep working. The way this app would work is like Uber with surge pricing. You set your price per interruption and the kids learn when it's $5.00 per interruption I'll just wait for that surge price to go down to $1.00 per interruption unless it's really really important.
- illwrks 10y agoClever idea, but kids don't care and as a parent your always on call.
- andrewfromx 10y agonot always the same level of on call. Sometimes I'm in my office and if they have a problem their mom is there. But they keep coming into my office and bugging me. And yes, I like the interruptions sometimes, they are great kids, but sometimes I wish I could say, for the next 2 hours, surge pricing!
- BennyInc 10y agoWould that be deducted from their allowance? I guess this would rather alienate my kids from me, as they'd try to save money.
- sharemywin 10y agoI'd much rather an app that had age appropriate videos for kids. I have an 8 year old that's too old for youtube kids and to young for youtube.
- andrewfromx 10y agoshould the on-ramp to adulthood be a slow merge lane, or a drop you in the middle of 65 MPH traffic the day you turn 18?
- sharemywin 10y agoI guessing my kids won't even drive. autonomous vehicles and all.
