- parents living away from grandparents, so the family hasn't support (babysitting isn't affordable by everyone, plus everyone can't be trusted nowadays)
- absorbing jobs, no real work-life balance
- the need of parents to dedicate time to themselves and lack of it because of the preceding points
Smartphones are great when used for direction finding or ordering food or something, totally negative when used to scroll endlessly through tik tok or instagram.
Many people are in total denial that social media have basically turned them into drug addict zombies.
On the upside, tik tok, like video games, is probably great at reducing street crime by keeping teens and young adults plugged into the matrix.
So, thinking that in previous times parenting was awesome and now it is lame is wrong.
