- latchkey 2y agoAgreed on the poor parenting. Video games are a very specific genre and in some ways, actually activate the brain. Not trying to defend gaming (I'm not a gamer), but my point is that we are regressing even further away from generations past. We get enough generations of this, and it becomes normal. This kid will grow up, have kids... and they will do same thing.

I think maybe let's just buy a tablet or a phone to keep the kids quiet while we mull in the many ways we're not going anywhere in life.
