I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

Why? It’s a time-honored parenting tradition. And one that doesn’t involve child abuse.

Boomers and child neglect - name a better duo.

I'm told that the joy of embarrassing your children is the main upside of parenting, actually.

Like being Michael Scott/David Brent of The Office on purpose and they have to be the long-suffering employees of Dunder-Mifflin/Wernham Hogg.

Because no matter how much you play the oaf, some fool still allowed you to be in charge of something important 😁
