“Parents that awful don’t deserve to have children, poor kids…”

“Kids are awful, this is why I’m never having children, I want to enjoy the rest of my life stress free…”

    Your excluding a good segment of the population if you are basing it on those who frequent Lemmy’s forums.

    Kids likely don’t frequent forums like Lenny. Parents are usually too busy to care about said forum.

    That just leaves childless adults. Which is likely why you see such a bias

      You mean “busy” on their phones?

      Posted in /r/teachers today by a teacher (but, I’ve occasionally observed the same at my local park):

      I took my own children to a park, there were about 8-10 kids running around between the ages of 1 and 6. The children were feral. The parents were on their phones the entire time. None of the bad behavior was noticed, let alone corrected. A three year old boy sat in a tunnel and screamed and pushed anyone who came near. Mom was oblivious. She wasn’t watching her kid, she was on her phone. Another girl (about 5) was being extremely rough around some of the toddlers (kicking towards them, jumping over a one year old at one point). Her dad didn’t correct the behavior. He didn’t see it. He was on his phone. I could go on. Besides the occasional glance, parents were completely disengaged from their children.

      “Kids” being people of what age? Because I started regularly posting to web forums at the age of 10 and if Lemmy had existed then, I might very well have joined it.
