My son addiction to phone was getting out of hands, my husband had to seize it. He watches It till midnight everyday, call him, he won't answer

I sometimes sub data for him to watch kids you tube, when it finishes, and he requests for data and I dare say next week, the next thing I will hear is, I will kill you now if you don't put data for me, I will use scissors and knife to cut your head.
The day my husband heard him, kpam, he just collected the tablet.

He is just 5 years old, so I really don't know if he understands what the word 'kill' is.

I am an engineer. I used tee squares in university. Today i do all my design with AutoCAD. Meanwhile autocad itself can be said to be outdated as most people are moving towards him

I remember during my interview years ago where my then HOd said we don’t use software in this office for design. Later I was the one who introduced 3D conceptialization that became the standard for presenting projects.

We will evolve and old skills will become obsolete. If you are an early adopter in the right time you can boost your career and future. It is more of managing what your kids do. You know scratch, the app for training kids in programming? It’s on android and iOS.
Its great that you realize the importance of innovation and you are implementing such great changes to how business is done in your office..
Of course we are evolving and nothing can change the tide. What I want to say is this, every generation differs from the other but such changes have to be built on value foundations such as spontaneity and human relationship... The fundamental problem of these generation and the next is already shaping up to be isolation pressure and poor people skills.. Work is already being redefined not in the traditional sense of office cubicle and workplace.. Peter drucker once said that the only skill required to survive in the 21st is the ability to learn new skills.. This ability is groomed in childhood when the child is allowed to play and work with others in groups and team play...

not agreeing with others opinions or holding a different view is the beauty of life. Holding different opinions without quarrel and hatred is the hallmark of civilization. I don't believe in the op said. I reserve the prerogative right to believe or disbelieve and that's none of your business. Have you ever seen a child of two downloading online games? Aside playing with the phones and imitating adults do toddlers use phones for other purposes? Would you be surprised, if you hear a toddler downloaded a porn?

Well I'm disappointed. If you were so sure loving your children will make them grow into responsible humans you wouldn't have replied this way.

You said your children are open to you because you're so close to them.

I wanted to see if that will remain true. 'cause according my speculation
Children are carefree about sex and relationship stuff in there tender age like 9-13, But would later be secretive about there longings for the opposite sex

I wanted to know you whether you will still know every in and out of your girl's sex life when she would be sixteen.

When I read your words I thought you were advanced enough to be reason with but you're making it look like you're just another gra gra mother.

BTW I'm not an enemy of progress, and your rash curse has no effect on me. you can have a good blessed day.

She replied to you like that because of your mocking and sarcastic tone and not because of your opinion.

Something as sensitive as parenting...Why would you be talking to somebody like that if you don't want a sharp reply...?

If you had spoken plainly like you are now and explained what you meant instead of making nasty insinuations I don't think there could have been a problem

I hear let wait for like ten years when your kid will be sixteen. You must complete this love, love story!

Don't you think you could have worded this better?

Somebody is explaining the method they are using to bring up their kids and you're waiting in the background for her to fail or what

If you are skeptical about it then you can give cogent reasons instead of provoking somebody and then being surprised when they get annoyed

My mistake I forgot I was talking to a woman.
She must have read 2000 meanings to my second comment.

Now the whole things seems funny. Why will you register in nairaland and be expecting only friendly comments? She better deactivate just like her kins have done. 'cause I cannot come and be wasting time checking if my comments offend somebody or not.

Stop spreading falsehood, no toddler of two years can download anything online unless by mistake. You made this story up or you overstretched it. I'm not ignorant of human development stages. I think you are the who is ignorant about human physiological and psychological developments. And next time, don't post anything online if you know you won't be happy when others disagree with you, after all, no one is your robot that will simply agree to what you write.
