what’s with these boomer ass comments
Imma be* seriously disappointed if my kids wanna gossip about anyone. I’ll take it as a failure on my part. They wanna explain the finer points of their latest Splatoon build, or argue about which hokage was the best, that’s fine. But gossiping is a horrible habit and I will not abide it.
Unless the YouTuber is famous or infamous enough to end up on the national news then I don’t see the point of following the fueds and drama…
As a dad I care about the subjects my kids care about, so I’m able to take a genuine part in their (almost completely online) lives.
This is why I have a favorite team in League of Legends, a game I have never played.
Right. Sometimes you just have to develop an interest into things you normally don’t care about to have something in common with the people you love.
And sometimes you just should care that your easily influenced teenaged kids are totally invested into content that glorifies and populises severe eating disorders.
Even if you don’t give a fuck about some avocado guy, these are the topics you should listen and talk about with your kids, to help them develop a healthy opinion and viewpoint of things like that. That’s actually a parents job.
I was raised with the teaching that gossiping is bad and you shouldn’t do it. That’s what all the hens in church did.
