As a Nebraska listener this brought me back to 2012, playing call of duty and someone being shocked we had internet in Nebraska. They legitimately thought we still had outhouses and stuff.
With other people's kids, you have to step in on bad behavior, because your kids could pick up on them not getting called out and bring some of those behaviors back. I was a teacher, so I had a lot of experience doing this calmly let them at their behavior is not okay. But I also recognize that this is easier said than done! I miss the days of communal parenting! About the sister, the person who wrote and have to say something! But it could just be calm and starting off with all the things that she loves about the kids, and then why she's worried about their behavior. Lead from love and empathy. If it goes unchecked, it will lead to bigger and worse consequences, and be harder to fix. It's setting them up for failure as adults, and to take other people down with them!
I'd love to know how the social media checking occurs for someone who doesn't use it 😂😂 only one I have is Snapchat and it's only used for group chats with friends
