My parents limited my computer and video game use and would prefer I watched TV - for some bizarre reason they thought the other two were bad for me but TV must have been fine because they grew up with it. Turned out the games were mentally engaging and promoted hand-eye coordination while computer use was my gateway to earning more than they do combined. They wanted me to waste time cleaning my room all the time, yet I don't clean much of my apartmemt much and nothing bad happens. One railed against how awful Chef Boyardee is for you but as far as I can tell they're decent cheap rounded meals. One literally tried to tell me it was wrong to wait until the zebra stripes end on a road to turn into the turning lane - as if you were obligated to drive over the stripes, which is illegal. Child me knew all along my parents were full of it despite being well-meaning and my opinion hasn't changed. So, this analogy has the opposite effect for me.
