what I find interesting about my kids socialising is that the demise of the family phone has meant kids barely ever call up each other, even now they have their own private phones

Stringent posted:coming back to parenting age chat, i've come to two conclusions from mine and other parents i know experiences. absolutely agreed. i have also realised that raising kids with just the parents and not the extended families around 24/7 makes it a lot harder than we've probably evolved to deal with

I have a widely dispersed family so there's no uncles and stuff nearby though which is a shame.

my stepdads beer posted:yes, this and cars has hosed up cities in incredible ways honestly it's just cars everyone goes apeshit about kids being kidnapped and stuff and the rates are pretty much the same now as they were in the 1920s, and things are much safer now than they used to be it's all cars. That's the only thing that makes kids just roaming around on their own unsafe. Because they'll be hit by a car and instead of the guy haulin rear end through the residential neighborhood at 50mph going to prison, your children will be taken away by CPS because you allowed them to do something unsafe.

old people love to bemoan how the world has changed since their day but also basque in the freedom today gives them to be a massive pain in the rear end all of the people who left messages on the pharmacy message machine over xmas were old people who back in their day wouldn’t have had access to anything. it’s plain hipocrisy

Stringent posted:it's not just like that in Tokyo either, i got friends here that live out in the countryside and their neighborhoods are set up like this as well, but in NC at least it seems like for kids to interact outside of school they have to be driven somewhere so they just end up playing video games all day most of the time. is it maybe better in more urban places in the US? my stepdads beer posted:yes, this and cars has hosed up cities in incredible ways

I grew up in the countryside in a tiny village so past the age of maybe 8 was allowed to just do whatever and roam around the place on my bike, not that there was really anywhere to go. I am kind of surprised I didn't get run over given then combination of twisty roads, erratic cycling and poor understanding of my own limitations but I survived. anyway, I can already see it would be difficult for babby to have the same freedom and feel bad about it, but otoh she'll have more contact with other kids and more of a family support network just by virtue of population density so its all a trade off. Also gently caress living in the middle of nowhere again. Then she can grow up and go "I hate the city I want to move to the country" and the wheel turns again.

im probably more liberal with my kids than most parents. I just don't embrace paranoia. if you've taken reasonable precautions, then what's the problem? sometimes hosed up poo poo happens in the world, but most of the time it doesn't, and yolo
