LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY ISN’T TURNING OUT AS I’D HOPED. Confused TikTok Mom Asks for Help When Random Child Comes Over To Play With Her Kid.
I would like to add a few observations. First, parents have been bombarded by articles like “10 Tips for a Safe Sandbox Playdate.” They think every parenting act requires expert advice. Faced with a question, they immediately consult their phones for help.
Second, parenting has become such a landmine that instead of doing something hands-on and simple—like calling the other parent or walking the boy home—parents feel dicey about any interactions with kids who are not theirs.
Third, children’s lives have become so micromanaged that the idea of a kid being able to take care of himself for any stretch of time seems either miraculous or suspicious. We find ourselves marveling at the kind of super kid that can entertain himself—and also stay alive—for an entire afternoon and evening.
We have de-normalized and even criminalized the idea of kids being out and about on their own. That’s why I particularly appreciated a comment that read, “At least she didn’t call CPS.”
“We” haven’t de-normalized or criminalized things. Crazy Karen-moms and their media-Karen accomplices have. Those people’s neurotic needs shouldn’t control society, and they do serious damage when they’re allowed to.
The Ukraine? Hmmm would have never expected that kind of corruption and evil. Don't worry PGOS; I know our own government is all in too. I mean our current president loves sniffing and improperly touching little girls. He has been accused by his own daughter of abuse while showering with her as an adolescent. No way are the elite profitting from war with Russia and laundering hundreds of billions. Not the Ukraine.

Well, this might be interesting.
