Have kids. You might be the father of the next Furher!

I get your argument to an extent, but screens when we were growing up aren't the screens of today. I think it was far less possible to get addicted to 32 and 64 bit video games the way kids now get hook. I too have SNES and N64 games and consoles that I'm excited to share with my son some rainy day in the future. However, I want him to be far more excited about playing outside in said rain if I will let him.

And you are right about the phone hand off to quiet them down. Seen it far too often myself. I get it, fussy kids can really grind your nerves. But ultimately being a parent is hard work in the early years and these people need to step up to the challenge they took upon themselves.

I'm a pretty carefree kinda guy but the thought of failing my kids like some parents are doing these days scares the shit out of me
