@obcl8569 It's not that complex. My kids don't have social media accounts. The consequence of them making accounts behind my back is the permanent loss of their phones. It's not hard when you're actually willing to do what it takes.

@obcl8569 My kids are both honor students on the fast track to early graduation. They've picked their primary and backup colleges. They know what career paths they want and generally what it will take to get there. They're 14 and 16. They both have small social circles with good kids. They have real friends, instead of "followers" and know what it means to actually be someone's friend. My "poor kids" are happier and better adjusted than most people I've ever met. But I guess I should throw all of that away so they can have unfettered access to the Internet, right? No thanks. I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Yes, I do use a social media platform while telling my kids they can't. I also watch R rated movies and have the occasional glass of my favorite bourbon. See there are differences between adults and children. Parents are supposed to restrict children's access to certain things, until such time as they are mature enough to responsibly handle those things. Or do you think it's hypocritical that I don't let my kids smoke, drink, and carry guns around town? Am I being rude to you? Sure. If that's such a big deal to you, you should probably get off social media, yourself. There's a whole lot worse than mere rudeness on here, which is yet another reason why my kids aren't on social media. They don't need that kind of vitriol in their lives, yet. You do you. I'll keep failing my "poor" kids in the manner I have been. If the worst thing they have to complain about when they're adults is that I wouldn't let them have Tik Tok, I'll just have to find a way to live with that. 😏

@obcl8569 You claim I made a threat and that I spewed vitriol at you. Okay, we'll go with that delusion. If you think that's bad, your parents are the ones who should have been concerned with making sure their kid was ready for the real world. As for the rest, it's pretty much just you making strawman arguments, due to lack of ability to contradict what I've said. That's fine. I'm used to people like you. You say a lot and yet nothing at all, thinking filler will help hide the lack of substance in your comments. It doesn't. Anyway, I'm glad you're done arguing, since you didn't have anything of substance to respond with in the first place. I just hope you're not also the type who insists on having the last word as a substitute for an actual win. However, if so, feel free. I'm done here, as well. Have a nice life.
