Hmm (thats my fave word, i’ve found) there’s gotta be something here about it being so…. normalized? or maybe its the intro of little babs all having their own phone/ipad since they could make grabby hands? like i learned my cousin has had tiktok since was 7?? i was reading puppy place books and was really into my cooking mama game on my DS???? i didn’t join wattpad til i was like 10 and i def thought i could pull off being 18 and how ‘owo so hard to write with all my exams’ no, bestie. u were writing the weirdest bit of anthopomorphic prose i’ve ever seen. like a shitty warriors and you never even READ warriors!!!! (unrelated but i WAS the number one wattpad book tagged with #car crash for a while. thought i was so cool.)
anyway.
i feel like a lot of ppl now just think their kids should know internet safety??? and so they never teach it?
like my cousin asked me why my username for EA and tiktok and my art insta wasn’t my real name and i just. stared blankly. her parents didn’t grow up with that part of the internet like i did. it’s cool to them! nothing bad could ever be seen by their child if they have bare minimum parental controls on. WRONG!!! spider-man and elsa kids youtube haunts my dreams from that kid. so messed up man.
bring back kids fearing the internet and their parents so you make overly complicated life stories like a girl playing with her barbie dolls that watched a soap opera at her grandparent’s house once when she was four and it’s defined her personality since.
Kids on the internet now a days are literally wild.. like when I was 12 and on the internet, i was lying out my asshole I was telling people about my kids and my wife. I was talking to them about taxes and how I miss my college days.....now 12 year Olds are out here telling their AGE?!?! OR REAL NAME?!??! I was literally fucking Garry that worked at staples and had 2 children for like 4 years...
#reed rambles#look i bring up my cousin A LOT bc she’s like a little sister to me and i’m constantly appalled by what her parents don’t teach her#they just assume she knows it despite them never having her take part in it#like washing and drying dishes#i kid you not#she’s just like me fr#cringe#anyway#i’ll have her come up some weekends and she enjoys soending time with me and learning basic life skills#we cook together!#i’ve taught her how to handle knives properly bc i was never taught either#i learned through lots of youtube videos when i realized my friends could make food but i couldn’t
