Apologies if this has been done to death - and yes before anyone points it out I am typing this on social media and therefore embracing the "modern age" but I find it deeply depressing seeing everyone buried in screens to the exclusion of all else.
So far I've managed to avoid tablets/phones etc for our DC (7 and 9) but I'm aware it won't be long and then we lose them as well. I hate the fact that they will not live their teenage lives without constant exposure on social media. I feel fortunate to be old enough that I could be stupid and think stupid things when younger without feeling the need to show the world (or have someone else show the world without my permission). I hate the fact that home will no longer be a safe environment for them - you used to be able to switch off from the shit of the day by coming home but now it follows you everywhere.
How do I learn to like it and how do I keep my children safe when the time comes?
