People are way too overprotective of kids these days. It's making for anxious adults who aren't confident in their own abilities.

I grew up underneath a helicopter parent, who was WAY too overprotective. I have to actively force myself to not be that way with my kids. Which, maybe I've swung too far in the opposite direction, but I really want my kids to do things on their own and not be 18 years old on the highway having a panic attack because they don't know what to do with a flat tire (not my finest moment).

I also want to be able to freakin leave my kids in the car for TWO MINUTES while I step inside the gas station to pay for my gas when the card reader outside is down. To me, it's not worth the damned hassle to get both kids out of the car, herd them inside, make sure they keep their sticky fingers to themselves just to pay for gas. I always end up going to a different station if that's the case.

I remember being 8 years old, bored in the grocery store and given my mom's keys to sit in the car and read. Can't do that today, it's child abuse via neglect. Like, come on.

I don't do this things, not because it makes my kids safer, but because it lessens the chance that I'll be investigated for something that I don't think is inherently wrong.

I sometimes feel like the equivalent of the old lady whining about kids these days. I'll be 33 in a month, btw.

Your life's main focus shouldn't be just about going viral and getting likes on social media. Put your phone down and do something better with your life.

The internet is ruining kids minds, particularly youtube because of ‘influencers’

I’m glad the youtube I grew up with in 2010-2015 was just mostly harmless stuff

Of course people like Jaystation and other influencers existed but they were nowhere near as big as they are now and were a few years back

People nowadays are too eager to blame everyone else for their problems.

“It’s not my fault I can’t cook, clean, or do my taxes! The education system failed me!”

“It’s not my fault I’m out of shape! I have a slow metabolism and need self-care days!”

“It’s not my fault I lost the election! The voters are too dumb to know what’s good for them!”

“It’s not my fault I lost the election! The other side cheated!”

“It’s not my fault I got a useless degree with a low GPA and now can’t find a job! I was lied to!”

“It’s not my fault I only speak one language! My parents should’ve taught me!”

“It’s not my fault I have no friends! They just don’t understand my genius!”

“It’s not my fault women don’t want to date me! They’re all gold-digging bimbos who only sleep with buff Chads!”

Absolutely everything is disposable nowadays. Nothing is made to last anymore. If you find something you like, it'll be worn out in a year and probably not made anymore when you want to buy a replacement.

It's the absolute worst with clothes and kid's toys. With kid's toys, by giving them such disposable toys, it discourages them from being nice with and taking care of their possessions. Why does it matter when it's going to get worn out so quickly and they'll be bought a replacement. I also think it's a shame that these kids won't have their toys to pass on to their own children because it couldn't last.

Fun fact: Jeans originally became so popular because of their durability and affordability. They really appealed to the working-class man whose clothes were constantly getting worn out and didn't have the money to constantly spend on new clothes. Now if you want a pair of jeans of that quality, it's $60+ dollars.

Call people if it’s urgent, text if you want a response later. It’s like a house phone and a letter.

Lots of young people get anxiety when their phone rings, I see them stare at their phones waiting for the ringing to stop and then text to reply.

“Why are you calling?” Because sometimes it’s a better way to relay information and it’s more personal.

That girls online showing off their bodies to get views isn't a good thing. So many do it. If u just sign up for TikTok for example, it is initially and automatically full of videos of girls showing off their bodies. U gotta keep avoiding those to get it off your fyp. And all of their dances they try and sexualize themselves so people keep watching. I'm 19 btw.

Stop being on your phone while you are talking to someone!

It is so annoying and rude. I feel like people can't even have a conversation that lasts longer than 5 minutes without staring at their phone.

As soon as someone starts looking at their phone while having a conversation, I'm not interested in talking to them anymore.

Obviously it's totally okay if it's something super important, but some people just want to text with others, watch videos and like photos while talking to you.

So disrespectful.

Doing your own handi-work is rewarding and builds character.

I've noticed a lot of younger people's first response to things breaking or needing to be replaced is to hire a repair person or to just buy a new item, without attempting to fix it with their own two hands. Doing it yourself teaches you a skill that you can use to help your friends and family, makes you smarter and more well rounded, and will also help keep you calm and cool in thr face of life's frustrations. When bad things happen, it's not the end of the world. You've fixed things before and you can learn to do it again.

I'm not suggesting spending hours and hours trying how to handle your own plumbing or electricity, but if your car makes a weird noise, or your walls need a fresh coat of paint or spackle, you can watch a 5 minute youtube tutorial and do it yourself.

I hate tipping, just pay your workers a fair wage. Also, I live in a state where servers must be paid at least minimum wage unlike some states that can pay less, so tipping is that much more annoying to me.

Communities within neighbourhoods would be lovely. My mum talks about it all the time, but it's something I've never experienced myself. Like, we know our neighbours, but that's about it. I'd love to live on a street or in a suburb where people have little get-togethers (street parties for big events) or just generally know and look out for each other on a more meaningful level.

Sadly I am but a lowly 23 year old, far off owning my own property, but one day I would love to "be that person" and bake brownies for my little cul-de-sac. Sorry I can't back to all these comments, I'm overwhelmed lol, but I'm taking notes for future me. Currently live on a council estate where not everyone gets on (there's a cockerel war rn) so now is not the time to get cuddly with the neighbours lol.

People take message apps way to personally. Crying over "being left on read" because someone hasn't responded in a couple of hours is just pathetic. Just because somebody hasn't checked their messages in a day doesn't mean they are ghosting you either. Stop trying to normalize your phone addiction by painting people who aren't as addicted as bad people, or accuse them of neglectful behavior or abandonment.

Message apps can be exhausting for some people. Not everyone feels like texting 24/7. If it's a thing that requires immediate response or an emergency, you just call. Phones can do that.

Parents giving their little kids iPads to entertain them is so weird, especially on holidays. Just talk to each other or play something together! It just seems like the parents want to get rid of the kid, it can not be good for the poor child's development.

It seems like everyone these days is trying to find their big break as a youtuber/influencer/Podcaster and it's incredibly annoying. People need to realize that you either need to be incredibly skilled, interesting, smart, or attractive before people will want to watch/listen to you talk about stuff.

I absolutely despise social media, it’s wrecked peoples’ attention spans and it shows, you can’t even go to the bar or gym with people without them totally ignoring something you say because they’re on their phones checking Instagram or some other pointless trash, and these are the same people saying I’m rude because I don’t respond to messages instantly, take a look in the mirror lol, not like I have a life outside of my phone or anything…

It’s not just the people I know, I see it all the time, I’ve been cutting down my usage of all social media because now I just think “what’s the point in this?” it’s just people I don’t give a shit about in real life sharing absolute garbage. I only have Facebook, Twitter and reddit and can barely stand those three, I go on every now and then but it doesn’t last long, rather spend my time doing something I actually enjoy instead of clicking on random posts to get a quick dopamine hit.

Deciding to have children with your significant other is a bigger commitment than getting married. I don't understand couple's who are in their 30s and decide to have children together but refuse to get married because that's too much of a commitment. It boggles my mind. How does sharing a child for the rest of your life not scare you away but signing a legal paper does freak you out? I have a few acquaintances who are in their mid 30s and in long term relationships where they've had kids but refuse to get married because they're afraid of getting divorced.
