Yeah it honestly irks me. Like anytime their child demands some attention they'll just shove an ipad in their face. tbh I consider it child abuse but I know nobody's gonna do anything about it bc they'd have to punish like half of all parents these days.
It's like fatties. There's so fricking many of them now that you can't actually enact any policies to address it because too many fatties are gonna vote against it.
