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.
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.
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.
Look around.
We live in slave world.
What kind of life will any child born today be forced to live?
We will spend the rest of our lives cleaning our parents messes, and we might all be doomed to burn alive due to climate change even if we do our best to stop it.
I’m not your scapegoat. Things are worse than you think.
How old is your kid?
Life was so miserable when I was young, I decided I probably shouldn’t have kids. I didn’t want them to suffer like I had.
My abusive mother denies that I had this thought.
I think abuse is more common than people realize. I wish more parents would recognize that they are bringing sentient life into the world.
So… no kid?
Correct. I wish more people chose not to have kids they can’t care for. What is your point?
He’s confused.
Downvoters support child abuse.
Do you know what my father said when I called him out on failing to care for my brothers and I?
“Well, that was my right.”
Think for two goddamn seconds.
This is intolerable behavior.
God these kinds of comments are dumb. Here let me explain why:
If you downvote this you support drowning puppies.
Stop defending child abuse, shitstain.
No, because puppies were not mentioned until you brought it up.
I was responding to people downvoting my valid complaints about child abuse.
Fuck off with your false equivalences, dumbass.
It’s almost like your comment wasn’t solely about child abuse, and no one was talking about child abuse till you brought it up.
Can’t believe you support drowning puppies, that’s monstrous.
Dumb fuck, the original post is about child abuse.
FUCK OFF WITH YOUR DEADLY FALSE EQUIVALENCES, SHITSTAIN.
It literally isn’t though. It’s a study about why parents tend to give their kids screen time. Unless I’m missing something in there that claims doing so is child abuse, you’re jumping to a conclusion and seeing what you want to see.
I’d also suggest taking a breath and leaving the thread, because you’re obviously extremely sensitive to screen time use, and are lashing out in an extremely unhealthy way. Not to mention you’re being a dick.
And yes, I’m also being a dick. I’m not above a little hypocrisy to prove a point.
Parents who can’t take care of themselves add kids to the mix and the kids suffer as a result. The article is about parents failing to care properly for their children because the parents are overwhelmed.
It is a sensitive subject. The sooner minds change, the more suffering can be avoided.
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.
More than you think.
Stop normalizing child abuse, selfish dipshit.
Not what I said. Every person who abuses children is a child abuser. It is more common than you think.
Not at all. Parents choose to have children. No one chooses to be black. What a disgusting false equivalence.
Wow, you one-upped yourself. When any person, gay or not, contracts AIDS, they have to deal with that themselves. They are suffering for their choices.
When parents choose to have children they can’t care for, the children suffer for choices they did not make and cannot correct.
Don’t let your selfish idiocy blind you to real problems.
Abuse has been normalized.
Oppose it or die, thanks.

Done.
Now go oppose child abuse.
