The father spends 10 hours a day on twitter and facebook looking at memes about liberals and millennials.
Honestly if you’re going out to eat with someone the phones should stay in pockets or bags
If you’re making the effort to go out you should be there not on your phones
It depends. I spend so much time with my beat friend that we don’t always have things to talk about. Sometimes we get coffee and just sit around and read or look at shit on our phones.
Tbh I wouldn’t mind my kids looking at their phones… what does it matter if the games they play are analog or digital? I’m talking about the sitting in the restaurant kind of situation, where kids usually draw, read or do other stuff to entertain themselves.
It’s not a matter of analog or digital games but a matter of going out to eat with people you care about and sharing that time with them
Yeah but if your kids are young they see you every day, so… it’s different if you don’t see each other often.
And my example was more meant for people who argue that they are fine with kids drawing when you’re out for food (which most younger kids do), but are annoyed when they use a phone to play.
I get the sentiment, but I have adhd and even with meds, it is sometimes a struggle to pay attention to someone, and I need something extra to do while holding a conversation at times. I need to have something to do with my hands so it’s a quiet phone or some clicking toy or pen, so take your pick.
I’ve got ADHD as well (mines inattentive)
I find doodling to be a good addition, especially if I’m having lunch with fellow doodlers
Because not only does it keep my hands busy so I stop bouncing my legs but it can also feed into conversations as well (once has lunch with a fellow doodler who we sketched stuff behind each other, it was really fun)
I have autism and probably ADHD, eating without something else to stimulate me is absolute misery and if you tell me to put away my phone i’m going to start avoiding eating with you.
Not in my experience, my boomer dad doesn’t exactly have much in commin with me, he wants to talk about sports and i want to talk about technology.
We just both pull out our phones and appreciate the presence of the other, you don’t have to talk to people to be social.
With what did they take the picture?
Taking a family photo seems like it’d be within the spirit of the rule.
Staging it so the teens look sad is the second most likely scenario.
Most likely is they staged the photo and made up the discount caption for internet points.
No never, not at all. I read online somewhere that the internet cannot tell a lie.
At least they can’t give you QR menus.
Yea cause kids totally wanna have a conversation with their shitty father.
In this case it’s because he’s clearly making them pose for the photo for internet credit
