> That should be your responsibility mate. This type of commentary online is contradictory and lazy. - Parent puts in effort to manage their child's time (and or access). WHY AREN'T YOU PARENTING?! - Parent doesn't put in effort to manage their child's time (and or access). WHY AREN'T YOU PARENTING?! Plus when a parent really goes whole-hog on the whole protective thing they get criticized for being authoritarian and or not allowing their kid to make mistakes/grow into an adult. The direct implication here is that a child should only have exactly as much time on technology as the parent has free time to sit behind them and look over their shoulder. Yet if you phased a parent doing that as a question from the child's point-of-view, it would get HEAVILY criticized (and perhaps not incorrectly either). In essence all parenting today exists in a super position (or "Schrödinger's Parenting" if you will) wherein everything they do is incorrect and or a complete contradiction. Seemingly to comes from two groups: - Those who have never had kids. - Those who had kids before technology really existed like it does today. These people don't really have anything valuable to offer the discussion.
