While research on children’s screen use is growing, most of it has focused on how a child’s behavior and temperament influence how much time they spend on screens.

Yet far less attention has gone to parents’ role in children’s media use.

In 2024, the U.S. surgeon general identified parenting stress as a public health concern.

Researchers, clinicians and policymakers were called to action to better understand parents’ needs, with the goal of supporting them in raising children and maintaining a healthy family.

Selfish idiot people continue having children they cannot care for, sustaining the cycle of abuse.

Thanks, mom and dad. We will spend the rest of our lives cleaning up after your wretched, monstrous asses.

You had a shitty childhood, but instead of trying to do better for your kids, you gave up, and didn't have kids at all. Obviously its OK to not want kids, but to me this seems like you are extrapolating your childhood trauma to everyone else. My childhood wasn't perfect, but it makes me want to strive to do better, not to avoid kids ans shane people who have them.

Selfish billionaire idiots hoard the wealth so that the general population cannot dedicate the care that they are entitled to give their children.

And dumbasses like my parents focus only on their own satisfaction. They fall in line and abuse their children instead of opposing the systems that keep us all enslaved.

Hey. Not everyone had/has the same experience as you. I get that you're angry but stop purity testing the entire planet because you had a bad time.

"Every person who doesn't agree with me supports child abuse" sounds a lot like, "every black person is a criminal" or "every gay person has AIDS". Don't let your trauma turn you into the people who hurt you.
