For real. My parents will cut off mid conversation to stare at their phone over something they just saw on fb or whatever, and I have to get their attention to resume the conversation we were already having. I don't think me chastising them for it would go over well, but damn.
Oh, and they still reprimand for having a phone in the "wrong" place (according to them). ๐
Anybody else start noticing how many of their parents have ADHD or other diagnosises but their parents were the ones to not get them on all those meds since they're over prescribing and just trying to make money?
Pepper ridge farm remembers.
MSM and bootstraps went a long way in ruining so many fallible and gullible people in that generation over pride.
