I didnt.
But I do see your point.

I dont think thats funny at all, I think its sick.

I got like what, 40,000 posts? Still manage to read a short book every week. Or a novel a month. Still hit the gun range every friday, and I usually do a fix-it project when I'm out there.
Thats on top of school and homework and tons of studying.

Nope. Being addicted and crying when its gone is not cool, or funny. Thats kind of a problem. God help her when she's a tween and "needs" it.

unless 4 year olds have evolved so fast that these days they read novels and hit up gun ranges, i think thats exactly what you did. not tryin to pick on you, but damn man...

Before everyone gets further stupid: I have spent plenty of time around children. Most of them are allowed to behave in a manner which I never was.

2nd: I spend much of my week around 19 year old children, who act as such because people like you think parenting is sitting back and hoping for the best.

Meanwhile the Indians and Koreans are busy getting all our good jobs and illegals are taking all our shitty jobs because your kids are too precious to receive any fucking discipline.

And slip her a tablet.

Shhh, don't tell your father. Hide this under the mattress, and when he's being a dick and taking your internet, you'll have this as a backup.

You got to that e-trade baby, huh?

my boys are 4 and they'd rather play free racing games on the ipad than surf the net. They don't mind car videos on youtube but they're not addicted. Thankfully. You know what though - we took away the xbox and ipad and they're just back to playing with their Hot Wheels. It's like they don't care! They sure showed me!

Are you a parent?

Until you are, you should never EVER judge one.

My daughter hasn't actually used a web browser yet, she just knew Netflix was powered by the internet. Shes doing good without it, if she's good we get a red box movie once in a while.

I think some people dont understand how boring it can be for a kid in winter especially if it's not really snowing often.

For years we didnt' have satalite. we did have Netflix. They only get to watch TV on weekends and would have netflix on all day.

It's a funny video, just don't try taking the internet away once the hormones start raging.


You have been warned.
