What?

They clearly were.

If a regular Joe made that comment it might hold more stock - as opposed to you, an oddball - but it takes one to know one I suppose.

You have to laugh…two of the worlds biggest tech men, Gates and Jobs, refused to let their kids near phones until they were 16 but a few roasters on TFK know better… I’m not knocking the use of technology at all but giving young kids a phone is just stupid. Whatever about the bullying, talk to teachers about the attention span of kids today

I wouldn’t be taking parenting or healthcare tips from jobs

Wait until you have your own kids and then The Princess will decide.

[anon61956325]

Princess doesn’t watch tv and doesn’t have much interest in being online, mate - all her family are the same - one sister has two kids , 3 and 1.5 and I don’t think they’ve seen a tv yet. Her other nephews are 14, 12, 10 and the eldest just got a phone - They do have a play station but they are involved in hurling, soccer, rugby, horse riding, swimming, music and are not allowed sit around on tv or phones.

You must stand out at family gatherings.

Gates and Jobs are/were a pair of oddballs.

Yup. Was a total cunt to the poor girl and her mother

[myboyblue]

Still though, thats who we should take parenting tips from.

Steve recognized the addictive nature of ipads/phones on kids and the harm they do- you are free to do what you like, mate.

[myboyblue]

Drug dealer appreciates addictive quality of drugs.

Drug dealer also content to deny paternity to his own flesh and blood.

I’ll pass thanks.

Pity he didn’t recognise the damage ignoring and denying a child can do.

He is right in that kids should be kept away from Apple products

Junkie denies addictions.

Junkie denies addictions.

I wouldn’t pay attention to a junkie either.

[Nembo_Kid]

That comment undermines your initial one.

Well done on that.

With proper security i do not see too much of an issue. There is a safety element for parents too.

If a parent wants to give one then pay for the security on it or reap the rewards.

Kids will do shit behind parents back. They always did and always will. If you feel tgere is some danger to it but it has its benefits and won’t alienate the kid then you get on top of it.

Denying kids stuff is generally, but not always obviously, lazy oarenting IMO

+1. A common sense approach.
