  People judge parents a lot.  I guess we could go Amish and take away devices altogether.  But the truth is society has changed where devices are standard use and kids want to be social with their friends.
  If people have constructive advice or a playbook I’d welcome it.  But as far as I know this is the first time in human history parents have been given this extra burden.  Used to, friends and family helped and kids ran around til dark.
  Parenting is hard when you don’t live around family.
  Truth is, parents are worn out and mentally stressed themselves.  Most can’t afford the counseling that would greatly benefit them and their family.
  I wish we didn’t have phones.  I have a 12 year old and I can’t protect her from you people online.
context: What I don’t get is why they blocked Facebook in my district but not Tik Tok. Seems like Tik Tok is facebook on crack, so… >
  
  If anyone needs disciplining, it's the adults. >
  
  Parents give their kid a device, let them install whatever they want and then say, "okay go to your room and leave me alone" and then act surprised when they turn out poorly socially adjusted.
