"The Social Dilemma" A documentary on social media.
I did not allow the kids to be on the 'internet' for hours, unsupervised.
NO chat rooms.
NO smart phones.
They didn't get a phone, until they had their drivers license.
THEN they got a flip phone. NOT a 'smart phone'.
ALL of their friends had unlimited access to social media.
My Space, FaceBook, Twitter, etc......smart phones.....from age 10 up.
I was called a helicopter mom.

I was called over protective
I was told that I was ruining their childhood
Old fashioned
And, my personal favorite, Crazy.
"OMG you're reading too much into this, it's just a place to share photos".
No, no it's not.
I think you need to see a doc. I think you have a hormonal imbalance. They have meds for that.
You are ruining the kids childhoods with your paranoia.
I. WAS. RIGHT.
I was right.
I was NOT crazy.
I was NOT paranoid.
At the end of the documentary. I looked at my oldest and middle child and said "See. I wasn't crazy. Those people are the designers, the engineers, the CEO's.....the creators.......everything I said in 2000 is what they are confessing too in 2020."
My oldest and middle child obeyed, but the youngest spent more time with her dad, who was possessed by his phone.
My youngest is 100% addicted to social media and has been for 10 years. It breaks my heart.
He convinced her, that I was crazy, and was ruining the other two kids and he was "saving her" by letting her have access........
This documentary was a personal victory for me.
Confirmation that for 15 years of being called crazy, paranoid, stupid, etc.....it was not me, that was wrong.
Thank you Jesus.
