The Parent Thread

I took all that social media stuff away for about a month. Kid almost lost his marbles to boredom lol. But it was healthy. Tic Tok is hard to monitor. They do have restricted mode but everything nowadays is sus.

I was a lil lenient during winter break but during school. He can only watch a limited amount of tic tok and youtube on the weekends.

Looking at trying to get him more involved in after school activities. Keeping him busy so he don't have time for that stuff might be the move. He was heavy in soccer and football but I took him out due to the pandemic last year. It was rampant.

It's too consuming and half the stuff they don't understand the full context of.
That’s the one thing I wasn’t ok with Tic Tok. They know about it but that as far as it goes. I agree with that most of the things they watch, they don’t understand the context to.

I would catch something he listening too and it would be wild. I am like what is that? He like oh I am just looking at the video not listening to words. Or he like I am just listening to the beat.

They try and make you think they not hearing the inappropriate words. Mostly he watching these dances and funny skits.

It's become this modern way of making your own "jackass vides" there's a show called ridiculousness and it's basically videos of people doing silly stuff.

In his mind it's harmless entertainment. I don't see it like that lol
 
So true. I do random checks on my kids phone and go through everything. I try to look past the cursing and things that are not harmful to them or their self esteem. I try to remember what it was like when I was a teen and how what I said did not reflect who I really was as a person. Teens just try to be cool.

But if I see something potentially harmful we have a genuine discussion on why it may be harmful and what to look out for and how some people, even friends, don’t have your best interests at heart. Best way to deal with it is to talk it out and build trust.

Depends on the age, what they're doing is for 7 and 8 year olds. If you're doing that to teenagers then that's a issue

Shit for a teen it’s even more important to do it.

look i hear what some say and all that. But until 18, kids need to earn trust and freedom.

society will try to steer your seed wrong giving just a peak.
It’s nothing but predators out there. And what I learned is a lot of predators arent who you think they are.
Some are in ya house, some created the life they preying on.
don’t take shit for granted. Trust me. Until adulthood and even after, always be the asshole first to protect yours.
 
@TheNightKing

I had to take away my sons phone. He definitely started saying shit I knew he wasn’t learning from us. TikToc was the reason.
Exactly. And I’m the king of taking phones, lol. For whatever reason. My son is in a very challenging STEM early college and his grades slipped bad. Took that shit for 2 months until the semester was over. I let them have their freedoms until they show that they can’t handle it.

They want to be an adult I let them try it out and watch them fail miserably. Better to fail in my house and learn lessons than fail in the real world where there might not be a second chance.

Ever since my son turned 16 (he’s 17 now) I don’t really check so much but I do still give time limits. If I didn’t that dude would be on his phone 24/7 looking at Tik Tok and YouTube. We been had the porn discussion and all that. If I noticed any change in behavior or anything I wouldn’t hesitate to snatch the phone and go all through it though.

He thought he was smart and created a burner Instagram so I made one too and started following him, lol. They think they so smart.

I did this for my niece. She did a burner and so did I

But for my kids…at that time I put a spy app on their phone.
Thank God, my son was about to make a big mistake. Thankfully I was able to stop it due to my snooping.
 
My Youngest is 7 and he doesn't know a thing about tik tok or most social media yet, but he's damn near obsessed with Roblox🙄. The first thing on both his birthday and Christmas list were robux cards. Hopefully this year I'll be able to put him in some activities that don't involve electronics cause since the pandemic started I've kept going outside limited.

That the same with my girls. Especially with my oldest, as soon as she gets home from school or activities that is what she is on.

Watch out on Roblox too. They have a chat feature. Found out my oldest daughter was chatting with these girls and she called them “friends”. We squashed that shit with the quickness. There wasn’t anything too crazy going on in the chats, but we had to teach her a lesson about trusting people online and that no one you’ve never met in person is a friend.

i dont spend a single dollar on roblox

my nephew becomes so unhinged when playing this game and they even had a Squid Games mod...they have GTA like mods and this one my nephew loves playing is a jailbreak mod.

Like who is this shit supposed to be marketed to? I would tell my nephew's mom but she be on that young shit even though she like 5-6 yrs younger than me. She just let him do shit.

My daughter found the Squid Games mod. We had to kill that with the quickness. We also found a mod where they had a little horror video come up. It scared the shit out of the youngest. Some of the people that create these mods know what they are doing.

I don’t spend any money on it either. I’ve probably given my daughter $10 for it and that was because she did a chore or something.
 
Got a 17yr old who's starting to smell himself and think he can tussel with his old man and starting to talk back. I get it he thinks he's grown but I'll beat the breaks off him at any given moment. Lol

Besides that he's a good kid for the most part only thing he does is play music(piano, guitar and violin) and video games. He got a little job now so he's getting a little money bagging groceries.

Being a single parent has it's challenges especially if you're like me a grumpy jackass. Sucks he doesn't have that motherly loving side a mom would give. He has aunt's and grandmother's of course but it's different of course.
 
My girls don’t like lotion at all. My wife and me try to tell them since they are darker than their friends at school, their ash shows. We are trying to get them to protect their skin, but they are not hearing us right now.
