It's easy to judge from like 30 minutes in public, until you have an autistic kid and no support network.

[–] RacerX@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Thank you for saying this. I used to judge parents of kids on screens until I had my own. You never know what's going on and there's a chance that the 30 minutes of quiet that family is getting from the iPad is the only peace they've had all day.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean there's other things besides brain rot. Also people did raise kids prior to iPads.

[–] RacerX@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

Yes, parenting existed before iPads. That doesn't imply that everything they used to do to cope with similar situations was correct, or better. Previous generations of parents used to do things that would terrify us now.

Or it's the only meal they've had out in a month and it coincided with a sleep regression or something.

I have friends without kids tell me how they would parent and what they don't think is "good parenting" all the time. They have no clue...

Yes, before the existence of iPads, autistic children could do nothing except scream and seize on the floor. Yep. Thank God we have iPads now, there is literally no other way to handle autistic children.

I mean, you're kinda being a dick... it's a better than my parents generations response to being autistic. Jesus lol, trust me.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Before modern era, they used to do lobotomies and lock up kids that are neurodivergent

Jesus Christ...

No, keep proudly displaying your ignorance. We've got time.
