This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.
We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.
Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.
Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.

Seems a bit redundant
A friend of mine tells a funny story about how shortly after seatbelts became mandatory, he was jumping around in the front seat of his mom’s car while driving and she asked him several times to belt up.
Being a kid, he refused and finally she tapped the brakes. He does this hilarious impression of eating the dashboard and needles to say he started wearing the seatbelt from then on.
The scene with the bear…
Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/
Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.
Hard to execute
Nice, I see what you did there.
“You can be princess… for now. You better watch your back Glenda.”
Totally agree, but unless you’re comfortable asking which one the person with the problem would prefer, it can be challenging to know which path to take.
I guess you could argue that if you’re not comfortable enough with this person to ask, then the person might not be comfortable seeking solutions.
My relationship with my spouse massively improved when we started telling each other which we prefer for each situation.
Thank you for your service. Right now I feel the same feeling when someone says “ew this milk smells, smell it”
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Never thought of that last bit. Might try it. Thanks for the tip!
Sneakers (1992) “no more secrets”: https://youtu.be/F5bAa6gFvLs?si=0OAFE-Pp2_Bc8AI8 Not quantum computing of course but still, a great movie.
I thought it was on par with the first. Very good imo. Without spoilers I can say they depicted some challenging emotions very well. My family is filled with anxiety, so much that pretty much everyone is on some form of medication. Needless to say, this movie resonated well with my family.
That nose is amazing. The contrast between the pink and black bits is fantastic.
