    we have infantalized children all the way through high school. no more open campuses, nothing. we live in a world where an 18 year old high school senior has to ask to use the restroom during the day, but could go to her night job as a porn star.

    the main issue is parents suing school districts over any little thing, requiring them now to lock everyone down or else

      Nah the real issue is that people will cave in to those helicopter parents making everyone else deal with whatever insanity they force onto their children’s

        I’ve got 4 kids ages 15 to 3. I’m noticing that the helicoptering I’ve seen from other parents was much worse pre COVID than it is now.

        I remember when my oldest kid was like 3 or 4 and hearing the word playdate for the first time. Hate that word. Sorry I’m rambling lol
