  • It should be very obvious that I have kids just as well as it is obvious that you seem to be outsourcing parenting.

    Of course kids are different, that’s true for every living being. Of course setting boundaries is hard, in my observation it requires way more that 2-3 times teaching - sometimes way way more. Especially when it’s an important thing that’s also fun like „don’t run across the (busy) street” or “don’t touch the hot thing” or whatever is going on with your phones.


  • Just to be clear by the age of 3-4 a child should be aware of the concept of not taking what belongs to others including their pictures.

    If your SO was fine with their phone being used to take nudes of them it would not be an issue. However in your 1st comment you state they are not.

    The kids is old enough to understand boundaries and the word “no”. If that behavior is limited to your own household then fine you do you. It never is though.

    One more example for your kitchen analogy, albeit coming from a different direction, is probably the smell of Durian.

    When you first encounter the smell, you experiences pretty intensive stench - maybe like rotten meat. When you manage to get over it and eat it a bunch of times it does not stink for you anymore. You still recognize it’s a very intense smell, but it’s not stench anymore.

    However, for everyone else unfamiliar with it it still stinks like hell.

    I assume people just can’t identify the smell of cockroaches until they learned it? Similar to people being oblivious to the smell of marijuana when not familiar with it.

    I’m not sure I would recognize the smell of roaches if I didn’t keep them as food for other animals. Stinky little buggers.
