The Got Milk? campaign in the 90s resulted in greater exposure to the missing kids photos.What is the reason for this?
My wife is a Latina and truly loved feeding the kids. We would always have a houseful and $500.00 Costco shops would disappear over a weekend. We loved (almost) every minute of it.Yeah, there was something like that for me too.
I can hear dear old dad shouting, "Why are all these other kids here? Who are they? Are we feeding them too? Don't you ever go to their parents' home and use up their stuff?"
It's true that they can still use their friends' consoles and screens but far less than if they have their own. If every parent resolved to get their kids and themselves off screens we wouldn't have this problem. We need to do better. It's not good for their eyes and minds.Agree with the notion that kids are over scheduled. They are. But we also didn't have as many screens back in the day, and nowhere near as cool. Phones, switches, gaming consoles are powerful, powerful, drugs. Your response will be 'so dont' give them to your kid.' Kids response? Fine, can I go over to (insert literally any other kid) house? Where of course they'll play fortnite for 4 hours. It'll differ from parent to parent but the scheduling for some is a way to combat screentime.
It's true, but I also remember my friends' parents setting limits on this or banning it during weekdays. Often, mom was home to enforce. The kid with the console was usually the fattest and least athletic. This has gotten worse.And for anyone who came of age in the 80's, you remember exactly where you were the first time you played Mike Tyson's punchout on yours or your buddys nintendo. The perrtmance of our 7th grade basketball team dropped off a cliff in the months after that release. I don't play any video games with my kid but I get it, Madden '24 is insane.
Yes.Of course parents should be far more diligent in curbing screen time, but many of them have the same problem.
Then we jumped off the roof. This was at 5.
The next year we set the fields on fire.
Lol... I don't set any restrictions on my kids and their gaming (besides some heckling if they are on it a lot) and they are both phenomenal athletes.The kid with the console was usually the fattest and least athletic. This has gotten worse.
Yep, you'd think that the gamers would be the least athletic and vice versa - hell, I used to think that - but it's not that way at all. In fact, there's not much distinction anymore between the gamers and everybody else anymore because they're all staring at their phones half the time anyway. The most athletic kids in my neighborhood are just as hooked on their electronics as all the other kids.... but when they got to high school, they had aged out of most of the leagues like I9/ flag football/ Pop Warner/ Babe Ruth/ whatever, so if they wanted to keep playing, they had to make it happen on their own in a much more competitive environment (HS sports) . And so they did. Tbh, my biggest fears basically never came true for my 15 y/o dude or his buddies.lol... I don't set any restrictions on my kids and their gaming (besides some heckling if they are on it a lot) and they are both phenomenal athletes.
Old school afvWe all got cowboy boots for some reason we thought it would give us the power to jump off roofs.
I'm not sure what this means. It's cool. I don't really gaf.
So many great memes have been made from this.
