yeah it’s bad parenting but also how can you not be a bad parent these days? everyone’s stressed, both parents are worked to the bone and are still saddled with debt up to their eyeballs and no matter how hard they try they seem to not be able to provide their only kid with the quality of life they see other people’s kids have, which they know their kid will resent them for it once they turn into a teenager.
every parent i’ve talked to says they know it’s bad but they’re tired and stressed all the time and they just need some quiet time, and the screen is the only thing that makes their kid shut up.
