I wouldn’t mind if he went out
With his friends to play some ball
And came back home quite late at night
Bruised or injured from a fall
It would be great if he went to a bar
Or a library to play some chess
And came home talking variations
About which I couldn’t care less
But I do mind that he stays home
With his phone always in his hand
Acts like nobody else exists
This behaviour I can’t understand
A couple of days ago I
Locked him in his room upstairs
Thought it would bring him to his senses
Turns out he’s totally unaware

It is tough with kids glued to a phone…makes communication even tougher with a younger generation.

If you locked him with his phone with him that last line would actually be ”turns out he totally liked it”😭😅

Sometimes I wonder what parenting would be like a hundred years from now.

🙂 Pretty trying, perhaps. Or, maybe all parenting will be done by the robotic Humanoids

Or maybe we will be parenting humanoids; adopting them and watching them grow.
