How do we stop the zoomer epidemic?

This is what happens when you coddle kids and don't give them proper beatings and let them walk over their parents because it would be "abuse" to punish them

Stop treating video games as a babysitter.

Why can't everyone just accept that sports are boring as shit? The only reason to do it is if you were dirt poor like I was growing up.

Follow these anons' advice if you want your kids to slash your throat in the middle of the night

I was the opposite, sports were for rich kids who's parents could afford to register them on teams and had time to take them to practice/games. Vidya was comparatively cheap.

Beat your kids. Hell, I can't wait for my baby to grow up so I can throw him around and whip his mouth with my belt. Try me, cunt. I'm the big dog around here.

If I imagine being a kid being told that nowadays I figure I would just go over a friend's house a play video games. Outside is relatively boring mostly because nobody else is outside. Unless two sets of parents of kids that hang out are in lock-step regarding their children spend more time outside it's always going to end up with one kid going somewhere else to do what they would be doing at home anyway.

Shitty parenting. If your child believes that they are being punished unjustly they will react poorly. Even irrational children will follow extremely strict rules if they are aware of why the rule exists and the rule is being enforced uniformly. Take Yea Forums moderation for example. Rule breakers are left unchecked for long periods of time so often that people continually break the rules based on the idea that enforcement is inconsistent, and that assumption is correct. Whenever a punishment is metered out against them for breaking a rule they remember all of the times they weren't punished, and they remember all of the times other people weren't punished for even greater offenses, and then punishment almost always feel unjust as if they were being singled out. This makes them react poorly. If everyone who broke the rules saw quick and public enforcement rule breaking (and subsequent enforcement) would reduce to an almost inconceivable degree compared to what you see today. It's not easy to be vigilant when enforcing rules, but if you're not going to enforce them correctly then it shows your lack of conviction and consequently the rule doesn't deserve to be followed if it was conjured up on insincere reasons. Children naturally intuit these things.

tl;dr: If you take their entertainment away without adequate reason they might bust a cap in yo ass.

you modify them over time
everybody's afraid of something, and while this may sound edgy, fear of punishment/ostracism is what makes us defer to others. Our bosses, parents, cops, etc. There's a reason truly fearless people are considered defective and go nowhere in life

Fucking skelly retards. The reason why being fat is bad isn't that you're fat, it's that being fat is unhealthy.

When you're losing weight you're doing for your health, so fasting and malnourishment is the worst way to do it, because that makes your body and immune system weaker than it would if you were overweight.

Also the people losing weight from video games are not going to be the same ones who are overweight.

Maybe if real life weren't so bleak and devoid of meaningful opportunity kids and young adults wouldn't be more inclined to say "fuck this" and play video games all day.

What do they have to look forward to? Working a job they hate for 8-10+ hours a day, 5-7 days a week, just to keep existing, never being able to afford to own a home, with little potential for upward mobility while being in debt for 10-20 years or more?

Fucking baby boomers just love to call them lazy and entitled, but they're the most entitled pieces of shit on the planet. They entered the workforce with nothing but a high school diploma or a GED, were able to afford to straight-up BUY a house at ~21 with the money made doing unskilled labor for a few years, marry someone who doesn't also have to work just to make ends meet, they can stay at home, all while not being saddled with tens of thousands in debt because not having a degree won't land you a job that pays a fucking living wage. Baby boomers could afford to get fucking mortgages, that's where their debt came from, buying their own home, not student loans that enable them to simply keep fucking existing. But these millennials right? So fucking lazy XD

I'm reminded of a commercial about three years ago that was quite popular in the United States. It featured several black children being unruly, and their black father clearly being at his wit's end on how to control them. The father was shown buying them iPads and then the "crisis fixed" shot showed the kids staring blankly at their tablets, languidly tapping at the screen while the father sighs in relief.

That commercial horrified me, for the very reasons insipid boomers are apparently waking up to the nightmare they fostered with plastic babysitters.

shitty parents are still shitty parents even if they beat their kids
just a beating doesn't work, the kid needs to understand properly
1 why he's getting a beating
2 you can still have a proper parental relationship once the need for beatings is over

and both of those require both time and attention, having lazy assholes who don't care about their kids apply beatings just results in miserable kids taking their crap out on the rest of the world behind daddy's back

The teens that are losing weight from consistant video game playing are going to be the ones who already have quite low appetites and are quite thin.

It isn't going to solve the problem of overweight teens because the overweight teens won't have a small enough appetite to ignore eating food.

It isn't making kids less fat, It's just making more kids be unhealthy.

As far as I know it's also about parents being retards and never doing anything with the kid. The kids get just dumped because the parents are workaholics and they never listen to their problems either. The only thing you do in such a case is escapism. I did it with books and offline games back then, today I might have done it with MMOs. Every addiction is just a method to fill some emotional hole you have. If your surroudings are shitty or you suffer from some problems and nobody gives a fuck you just spend the rest of your life doing that one thing you are good at and through which you can actually connect with other people with the same hobby and maybe even similar problems.

Christ, this board really is more shallow than fucking /biz/
Look here you filthy neet, to "afford" children both parents need full time employment just to fucking keep a roof over their head, even as middle class, thus little timmy here can play games and stay out of trouble until mom and dad are back from work.

You don't. Accept that the world is constantly changing, then move on. Plato was complaining about the degeneration of morality and decency in young people over two thousand years ago.

I think battle royale formula itself can be very addictive because only one person wins out of 100. So you struggle and struggle for that sweet victory even though you will always be left away from it by your betters. Nowadays children are less intelligent, so of course they won't see addiction in what they are doing, but instead endlessly pursue mindless effort to win the unwinnable fights, that keeps you going for sweet wins one out of 1000 times you play. Winning a battle royale is like 777 in a one handed bandit jackpot, with some percentage of that win being skill, some right choice of landing and knowledge of items, but still 50% of luck depending on what items you get and what players will end up playing with you.

Adults just had better adrenaline inducing games in the past like quake, CS and UT which had better competitive formulas, you couldn't play too much of them or you will get bored and people eventually quit servers. Match making of 100 of players instead of dedicated servers makes games infinitely playable. In a way it was a blessing for arena shooters that they didn't had that many players, you played with people for your pleasure, not for the win.
And then there were games like battlefield where masses were more important, and everyone worked as a big team. It wasn't that addictive either because of tactics involved and weren't invoking desire of attention to player himself as a singular winner.

Battle Royale is a perfect form of a video game gambling machine, add lootboxes to that and you fulfill the life killing gaming service.

Just because you are fat, and losing weight would be good for you doesn't mean everyone's fat and that losing weight is always a good thing.

The kids who can just skip meals consistantly because they're ingrossed in a game aren't the ones who would be fat. Losing weight while young, especially at a time in life where the body is supposed to grow, is not healthy

>As far as I know it's also about parents being retards and never doing anything with the kid
>The kids get just dumped because the parents are workaholics
To be perfectly fair, lots of parents simply don't have time. They're "work-a-holics" because they have to be. Lots of lower and working-class families have parents that work multiple jobs just to keep food on the table and the rent paid. Its not 1960 anymore, most families can't subsist on a single parent working one 9-5 job while the other stays home and attends to the family. Cost of living has kept going up but wages have remained relatively stagnant for decades.

The parents raising these children weren't the parents raising WoW-addicted children, so obviously Fortnite's the real plague on society.

There's always going to be some cultural phenomena that parents are going to blame for their shitty children. It's human nature. It used to be Rock and Roll, or Comic Books, or DnD, or any number of things.

I still remember the panic Tetris has caused in my country when it came up.
Media was full of apocalyptic scenario talks about children becoming completely addicted to this and that there will be more games coming out so that we will never return to normality and shit.
Well it was kinda true for me, but only because I am an autist and I would just have done something else if there were no games. But everybody knows nothing in general even happend other than people starting to get hobbies that weren't about watching fucking awful shows on tv.

You think black single mothers beat their kids?

>Take Yea Forums moderation for example
roflmao who's going to read past this line

turns out if your personality is shit, you won't listen to rules, even if your parents beat the shit out of you, it will only make you resent them and people in general and do things out of fear, which will make you a horrible worker and most likely a sheep, not someone who has a fullfilling career. if you were beaten as a child most likely you haven't pursued education, for example.

>He fell for the STEM scam
LMAO, must be a stinky linkie

this is true, why the fuck did my dad have to be so goddamn rich

Well I even agree on that, maybe my wording was a bit harsh. You can barely pay a single room with a normal low income job in my city so I wouldn't wonder if most parents had to work, both, and a lot.

If you have to hit your kids to get them to behave, that means they don't respect you. And if you can't get your kids to respect you, you shouldn't be having children.

God, isn't that the most hypocritical shit in the world? You get these irate soccer moms on TV lamenting how "they lost their baby" to dabs and flossing while the alternative would be having their child sit with them on the couch for three hours, watching NCIS: Detroit or NCIS: SVU: Ultra Edition.

It is 100% your fault if you're working a full time job and cannot afford some luxuries or pleasures in the United States.

Be fucking parents. This fortnite thing is nothing new. When I was a kid it was Pokémon where the media was saying it was demonic or something. Parents need to out limits to their kids.

>kid can't stop playing games!
Enforce a designated game time that can only be earned via homework, chores, or good behavior
>but hes going crazy and losing his mind!
Lay down ground rules. Kids are not adults but they believe they are. YOU'RE the adult. Why would you allow them to go crazy? Make them go to time out (where you can see them) have a talk for 20 minutes, make them do a nonelectronic activity, and then if they obeyed the entire time, let them have a small game time.
Problem is there's so much passive parenting. If you start from when they're super young and instil responsibility in them, they can handle themselves if you're a workaholic parent. Worked on me.

It all boils down to the economy being fucked and the people in government kowtowing to the super wealthy to keep it that way because its beneficial for them in the short-term. You can't have healthy middle class when they can't afford to do or buy anything, and you can't have a healthy economy when your middle class is stagnant with little/no disposable income.

>playing sport

They were right though, look at the current generation of useless beta bois, so it's safe to assume they're still right and the next generation will be even worse

>Police officer
40% of police families experience domestic abuse, this is way above the national average of 6%. Him being a police officer actually makes it more likely that this household had other problems with it.

>we should tell them no
>why aren't they obeying? wtf?

Before the age of smartphones if you fucked up, everyone forgot about it eventually. Now it's all immortalized online and even looked at by adults who have nothing to do with it. I fucking hate those child cringe compilations because I know behind the screen that kid is very upset at how the world is laughing at him.

>t.Rethuglican
Yeah man, it'll just trickle down XD

Same honestly, how the fuck did children get so much worse in such a short period of time. Social media can't have warped them that much can it? It's obviously a major factor but it can't be 100% to blame

I wasn't planning on having kids anyway. If i could barely fit into society, i can't imagine how my kid would suffer trying to avoid all the deviant and hellish things of this world.

video games, internet, books, whatever you like, they are all fundementally addictive. The reason you enjoy these hobbies is because they trigger dopamine releases in your brain, it makes you feel good and you associate those good feelings with your favorite whatever. Theres nothing intrinsically wrong with that, its what makes people do things they like. However, the reason ((they)) have a problem with it, is because they dont own the video games. They dont own fortnight.They only want you addicted to THEIR dopamine releasing activties so you can be controlled by them, and make money for them.

They're the same stupid little shits millienials were, the only difference is social media and smart phones, the shitstains of our generation would do the exact same thing if they could.

Nigga it ain't normal for no kid to bust a cap on their parents ass. Come on nigga, I got my ass whip by my momma multiple times as a kid cause I was a hit of a dick but not once did I raised my hand against her let alone bust a cap in her ass. Anyone who reacts that way is a crazy nigga IMO.

>They were right though
No they weren't, you miserable shitposter. You completely overlooked the point that shitty parents produce shitty children, if Mommy and Daddy can't scrape Junior off the Fortnite than they're at fault, it's not the game.

Man: Hey, Jimmy is spending a little long on those games, don't you think we should limit his usage?

Woman: LEAVE HIM ALONE, LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS, HES MY BABY AND HE GETS TO DO WHAT HE WANTS. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN WE NEED A DIVORCE

>devoid of meaningful opportunity
The funny thing is that the kid in OP's image actually seems to be getting donations and subscribers. If I'm honest, streaming and playing videogames is ACTUALLY one of the most "accessible" (luck of popularity notwithstanding) and meaningful opportunities for people of all ages.
When it comes to kids though, parents are content to just treat it as "kid is playing videogames" rather than use it as an opportunity on their part to teach good business sense and money management, and develop a rapport with their kids by co-operating on that decision.

Not developing a rapport or sense of co-operation leads to kids feeling like their parents "don't understand", and if the parents genuinely don't, then (as other people have mentioned in the thread) any punishments the parent attempts seems to lack justification and is merely a parent abusing their authority as far as the child is concerned.

Good thing almost no lower/middle class has a 100% full time position then

My parents talk about children's games they used to play that involved taking a knife and throwing it at your foot - the closer it got to the foot, the more "points" you'd get. They also talked about how you'd buy Lawn Darts and throw them up in the air, and run around the lawn trying to get away from it hitting you.

Children have always been idiots seeking death.

DON'T introduce kids to videogames unless they're at the very least 9 and NEVER let them play online till they're 14 or developed a deep voice

It has to do with evolution. White people evolved in a harsh climate where the future was uncertain. This means that they had to learn to deal with people they didnt like, to work with people they hated, in order to survive the long term. This created the mentality of dealing with stress until they break, and when they break all hell goes lose.

Now compare this to brown people, or blacks. Africans have trouble understanding/comprehending the long term future, they evolved in a world of plenty. Its summer all the time in the heart of africa, food is always growing, plants are always available. Primative negros never had the need to evolve long term consequence comprehension hence they have no real concept of the future. Therefore, when a black man gets mad, they immediately attack. They lash out, fight, or run away. They dont deal with bullshit, they just act like an animal. A random nigger hitting another nigger isnt going to result in mass casualties. But a white person dealing with bullshit has time. Time to plan, time to accumulate tools and weapons, time to select targets. Its not that white people are more murderous, its just that they are better at it than everyone else because they approach it from a different angle.

>t.bootlicker

What if you legit did good in school, were a good kid, and stayed out of trouble, yet you get violently yelled at or slapped just because you forgot to wash the dishes one day?

Yeah this. Not sure about other countries, but almost every fucking boomer and older gen guy/woman I know wastes their whole free time with tv shit. Many won't even meetup with you if it would happen during a time when one of their many favorite shows was airing and they watch the worst crap, talk shows that air every day or scripted reality bullshit. But there is NEVER a callout against this. Nobody ever warns from people getting TV addicted.
Meanwhile, there was some shitty "research" last month that caused another panic and lots of talk show topics: an article stated that more and more young people were getting addicted to games. Everyone was discussing this shit but nobody even read the damn thing or they are too stupid to understand it. When I was looking for the definition of "addicted gamer" in that paper I realized it was already categorizing people who play "two" (2) hours a day as at risk for addiction. These hours also included phone games, so going by these retards, you are at a risk for addiction of you spend your one hour subway drive to work with a phone game. But watching 7+ hours of TV everyday is somehow okay.

>If you have to hit your kids to get them to behave, that means they don't respect you.
Bullshit, children have no concept of respect for authority until you teach them. A baby or toddler sees its parents as a caretaker at first.
Left to its own devices, the average child would run around shitting on the floor, too. Does that mean we shouldn't potty train them?

You're slightly overweight

you need a reality check

If Africa is such an Eden, why haven't you moved there?

Let's just hope you won't rinse repeat that behaviour

If there's actual evidence of health concerns caused by the game (in reality the bad parents), why hasn't anything been done about it?

You beat up that strawwoman real good

Kids shouldn't be allowed access to computers full stop. You were and look where you are now, you degenerate.

But /pol/ told me Africa is a shithole with literally nothing there

>i-i could totally do it but i-i don't wanna
Umu

you only see this shit with the white kids with parents who only give them "time outs"

minority parents beat the shit out of their kids and usually they dont act against the parents. (not saying minorities grow up to be better though)

>He says while posting on Yea Forums in 2019

Ironic, a retard like you would probably suggest beating your kids to get them potty trained.

Nah, maybe in anglostans they accelerated it, but this is a worldwide issue, from Japan to Norway to Chile.

>not being all muscle
cope skelly

there's a difference between can and want, friend

The problem as I see it is that parenting never got better while more and more outlets were made available to kids. namely, the internet.
Just by sheer volume, most parents are going to be shitty. However 20 years ago kids with the same level of parenting would just be outside fucking around with other kids because video games and online activities weren't nearly as deepseated in modern culture as they are today.
When you let a kid stay inside and hook itself up to an endorphin factory, obviously there's going to be adverse effects when you pull it away
Worse off, parents are just as prone to getting glued to their screens as their kids. Everyone has a smartphone or tablet or something nowadays and that's literally having the world at your fingertips.
You get trapped taking in this constant flow of information because otherwise you feel like you're missing out on something all the time. Ironically, taking in everything from everywhere else numbs you to the things that are happening in your immediate area.

Quite frankly, the internet was a mistake.

>but still 50% of luck depending on what items you get
I think this plays a part (purposefully) in modern game design. Especially battle royales, are designed to minimise any possible negative feelings due to failure, and reinforce positive emotions during success.
In a Battle Royale if you die early then you lose and get into another game with no sense of loss "everybody dies early sometimes, it's basically luck."
Or you win and you get the victory of "I beat 99 other players".

As much as I hate to agree with this sort of faggotry, it's not a very good solution, because it doesn't address the reason the behavior emerged in the first place. It works much better to have some other engaging activity to entice them. If every alternative is just more boring shit, then they need to see the direct consequences of NOT DOING that boring shit, and not some beating that they'll only link to the beater, and not the activity.

Beating is a last resort.

I know people who broke their leg to avoid school and I am not that autistic as many other autists but alien enough to get bullied by 5-7 guys for four years straight including an face to face murder threat. A classmate of my father killed himself over bullying.
People were always bad, it's just that social media is literally hell and gives bullying a whole new dimension. As that other user said, at home I still had stress with my parents but at least they were only shouting on me nonstop and told me that I fail at everything (which is kinda right, sadly) but nothing else. I could deal with this. What I wouldn't be able to deal with is bullies from class exposing my private life and make photos when they bully me at school and post it on social media and the likes. Hell I would have never left my room again. People also hype each other up on social media, it's why you have so many political fanatics these days. These websites are made for hate and bullying.

How many social media sites are there? Now, remember for a period of time that if you didn't have ALL of them, you were "out of the loop" in some way.
Humans are tribal beings, and feeling like they "belong" is a big thing and it's hard to fault us for that. It REALLY gets out of hand when "social media" became the new "24 hour news day" with everybody expected to be a part of it constantly, or else be left behind.
People are expected to follow the group constantly, rather than before, where you had established "tribes" for school, home, work, and hanging out with friends, which allowed you to experiment with different ways of living life by being exposed to a variety of people in a variety of contexts.

Now it's the same people (everybody) in a single context (social media), where you get to watch everybody elses highlight reel.

The problem with parents nowadays is they are one of two extremes. Either they want to be their kids "bro" or "friend" failing to setup a hierarchy and letting their kids do whatever the want, and failing to enforce what few rules they have. Or overly aggresive unrealistic expectations that set your kid up to fail.

Fortnite would be bad enough if it only affected its zoomer fanbase, but since its profits are being used to fund the Epic Store it's actively ruining the entire fucking industry as we know it. It's the worst thing to happen to video games since fucking Call of Duty 4.

Anyway, this is just like every other bullshit article claiming gaming "causes" all of these problems. Kids who retreat into gaming and play obsessively either have some kind of mental predisposition towards obsessive/addictive behaviors, or have other shit going on in their lives where they're trying to use it as an escape. Until parents actually talk to their fucking kids and try helping them through those problems and stop mistaking the symptom for the disease, you're going to keep seeing bullshit articles like this blaming Fortnite on every possible thing going wrong in people's family lives. The media and parents won't dare suggest that they have some personal responsibility, so Fortnite will keep growing and the industry will get worse and worse.

They don't care though. Even when they know it ruins the country, they don't care because they are either old anyway so nothing matters for them anymore since they won't live during the big fallout or they are simply rich enough not to care.
The economy of my country gets better and better every year and yet people get less and less money. I honestly barely see working being worth anything right now. Most jobs that might take you (most won't because they have fucking unrealistic requirements) will pay you like shit for the tuition time and if you survive this they end your contract nonetheless and give the permanent job to someone they randomly feel sympathy towards. So in the end you work at different jobs but only as long as they can legally pay you like shit. Hell, there were even people who wanted me to work for them for free, because I am a drawfag and them them using my shit would maybe probably work as advertising for me because we all know people will google the artist that made some random cover or something and hire and pay them.

computer "addiction" is nothing more then being, say, addicted to the thrill of riding rollercoasters. you can get more entertainment and information out of computers faster than anything physical, so of course kids would be more invested in using them. The only withdraw a person can get from not having internet connection is chronic boredom, anyone with a hlaf-functioning brain can tell that feeding toddlers information that way is harmful to developing patience and self-restraint, but it is in no way an addiction.

Honestly, it’s less about restricting screen time and more about paying attention to your kid so they actually have a developed personality and don’t have to spend all their time, attention, and interests in playing a game.
It’s ironic how in the title the Mom compares the kid playing the game to a drug addict when contemporary studies have shown that most cases of drug addiction are more environmentally related then they are biologically.

Yeah basically. There is a reason for my classmates in school calling me skeletor or glass bones back then.

Not that I care if people beat their children because it's sad, but it's been proven to create shitty children.
Why would you do something that makes your kid a shithead? It's fucking retarded.

I went to an internet/gaming cafe last saturday with my friend. It was like timetravelling, except the place was filled with 40-50 8 year old zoomers playing Fortnite. They looked like they enjoyed themselves and were surprisingly quiet. Then there was a handful of jaded doomers playing cs 1,6 and a couple of old guys reading news.

I was also thinking of starting to do cardio, but I heard that excercise barely helps with weight loss and that shit like running while being fat ends up fucking up your legs.

It's cool.

I convinced my sister to not let her son use a computer or play video games until the age of 13, and with a maximum of 5 hours a week.

I also advised on forcing him to go to the gym and pick up an actual hobby, like woodworking. He'll be a real man and not a basedboy retard.

I cant wait for this to come back as a "retro fad" or some shit for all the people who looked down on video games at that time to pretend that they did way back when

Prove me wrong.
Kojima was right, but there's no AI here to destroy.

Fuck off skelly.

I genuinely wish my parents did this, and then maybe helped support whatever hobby I picked up.

All the anons ITT who act like there’s no line between coddling and beating your kids. If you can’t develop an honest relationship with your child and raise them well without having to use physical violence to literally make them fear you into obedience then that’s on you. I’m not saying hitting your kids is gonna turn them into the worst kind of abuse victim, but it’s clearly a suboptimal method of parenting that’s only necessary when the parental trust bond is broken.

If you buy your kid a video game and they get addicted to it and you beat them for becoming addicted it’s your fault. If your kid doesn’t have a reason to believe there are other things more worth doing than playing the game, that’s because you haven’t raised them properly and/or they are not yet mature enough to handle that kind of privilege.

>reading comprehension
Are you american?

We're basically already there with WC3 thanks to DotA and the upcoming remaster, and ecelebs have been doing shit on HoMM3 so expect that sooner than you'd like.

Hitting your kid is bad parenting.

The kids could stand to lose some weight.

I had all the games I could want as a kid, but being a kid I usually wandered off to do something else and then wandered off to do something else again.

I think I just got it people are like domestic bunnys, incapable of taking care of themselves and scared of everything all the time.
If you want to be a good parent send your kid into the woods with a slingshot and if they make it back alive they'll be all the better for it.

Not a fortnitefag but I wish that anime trope of falling into a coma and waking up in the game world was real.

>events happen
>it's popular thing's fault
Age old tale.

Anons, give me advice.

One of my kids plays games but will limit himself and do other activities. So I let him play however long he wants.

The other kid will literally play games all day and night if he's allowed. He doesn't do anything else. I recently limited his time to one hour per day, but when he can't play games he'll mostly just sleep out of boredom.

What the hell do I do? I'm thinking of just riding it out. I do feel like I'm treating the addicted child unfairly, but I explain the discrepancy by saying that his sibling has other interests and does other things.

Asians are also REALLY good at massacres. Probably better than Whites if anything ('Decisive Tang Victory' right a bell?)

Their government philosophies believe that individuals have no rights except as an extension of the sate itself, so you don't get a weapon unless your job is literally 'use weapon'. Europeans started believing in ideas like 'maybe individuals should be allowed to do and think what they want' waaaaay back in classical Greece (perhaps because then Athenian volunteer naval forces were more effective at fighting off the invasions of the the Persian empire than the more regimented and communal Spartans 'who are mostly known for 'losing really well/honorably'.)

>and pushed parents to divorce
>blaming kids for parents being unable to get along

He's probably talking about those whores on twitch.

Show the other one things they can do. They're bored because they haven't found something else they enjoy as well. And no, just because the kid tries a couple sports doesn't mean the list is exhausted.

Daily mail is a pommy paper

whatever number post best post

these parents are lazy as fuck and blaming children for their own lack of self control and self discipline

its illegal to hit children here and yet children are less misbehaved in my country than countries where its not only legal but commonplace to hit children

You must have some really funny definition of whore then.

>If you buy your kid a video game and they get addicted to it and you beat them for becoming addicted it’s your fault.

>If you buy your kid a game

You know these kids are playing fortnight, for free, on their phones, right? Taking away a teenager's cellphone today is basically like taking away their car... or castrating them. The parents having nothing to do with their kids having access to Fortnight, if the kid wants to play Fortnight these days they ARE going to play the damn game unless you sequester them in a fucking amish community.

That's the future, parents will have no control over the media their children consume, because trying to stop them from consuming a product is getting between the a corperation, and their money, they will SPEND money to secure those future customers and 'empower the child' to consume their product. Look at how much money Epic is dropping buying exclusive games for their fucking platform!

>but it's been proven to create shitty children.
>bad parenting
statistics on the end result of whooping kids are sketchy at best. They cite "negative outcomes" like "reduced self-esteem" for kids who get beat.
But countries that have actively banned corporal punishment include:

I can't wait to see your children go ballistic and hurt you.

This is such a retarded Amerifat mindset.

Hitting isn't punishment it's abuse

You sound schizo

That's why I don't hit my child. I smack them.

If a father has never raised a fist against their son, they're a weakling. They're not fit to be fathers, and they're not fit to be in positions of power, even that of a lowly manager.

Anyone who has ended up on Yea Forums and looks back at their childhood can easily infer what NOT to do as a parent.

Why bother with the middle man? Robbing a bank with your army of tarantulas would be a major hassle. Instead, just take over the apartment complex and make money as the landlord. Won't even need to hire help, make your spiders do all the maintenance, cleaning and security.

science is on the side of not hitting your children do your own research.

>even that of a lowly manager.
That's not lowly enough. They're lower than a jannie

>will never have a game that I lose weight from playing so much again
I wish i did just for the weight loss desu

Science also thinks I should let a kid who can barely form a coherent sentence pump himself full of estrogen.

>>punish a child in 2019
>>they call CPS and get taken into foster care while you get legally fucked
this is an absolute meme. CPS doesn't give a flying fuck unless the parent draws blood, causes lasting physical damage, refuses to feed the child, or makes them sleep outside. Surveys say 50% of Statesiders spank their kids.

Same science that tells me kids can't ever be hit.

Science is constantly wrong and changing what is right and wrong. Why the fuck should I believe it?

They did the same shit with call of duty. Games are always a good thing to blame instead of the actual awful parents. God people are irresponsible shitheads.

Nope. Hitting your kid is the same as hitting your dog or wife.

Imagine if these kids played an actual good game?

>asking Yea Forums of all places about parenting
Oh boy, be lucky this place still has some intelligent posters. See this and added to that. Kids need to explore and experiment with many different things on their own so you can't force them. If they're not interested in something they just haven't seen all that's out there. The more they see and do in the world the more they'll take interest in other things. This is why I say more parents should raise or take their kids outside their country of origin for a couple of years, not no short vacation thing either. Just really see the world. My american parents were both in the military and I was born outside the US at the time they had me and when I finally moved to the US at the age of 2 or 3, it didn't take me long to learn that there was a lot out there that the US didn't have. Not saying the US sucks or anything but saying that there's a lot of options out there than sticking to what 1 country has to offer.

I mean not everyone is going to like reading books especially if schools don't offer what that kid likes. The more options you present kids the more they'll take interest in other things.

What kind of science? Pseudo-science?
The raising of children is an extremely complex process that takes decades to conclude. It cannot reliably be subjected to the scientific method,

Morally justifiable?

i was never hit and now I browse Yea Forums

the funny thing about you europoors is that despite being a blip on the global radar for decades, you seem to think other countries need to impress you

fuck him man, if his kid is willing to insult you openly like that then i'd say it's probable that his folks probably speak about you in the same manner. In my opinion your brother earned himself his child getting hit and scared shitless by not respecting you enough to give you any benefit of the doubt whatsoever in the situation. He dumps his kid on you so he can go do something fun, the kid shit on you in your own home and you're supposed to be okay with it? lmfao
