> I don’t have kids
I used to think all kinds of things about how we'd raise our kids before we had them, but I'm pretty satisfied with the job that we're doing overall - they're outside catching the first frogs of spring in the creek that goes by our house at this very moment.
However, sometimes when you're driving for hours to somewhere they get a little bored and want to watch a movie. And sometimes you get bored of listening to the dialog from Hotel Transylvania and want to listen to a podcast and then you discover how handy those headphones actually are.
edit: I mean, this is constructive feedback and I do appreciate it. And you should absolutely think about your parenting strategy before you have children as well. It's just that, well, sometimes your opinions on things soften as you age and gain domain experience is all...
