"Joyful parents and dismayed kids..."

"Hurray! Our children are unhappy! This is our goal as parents for some reason..."

You know you're the parents right? You don't need to rely on the authority of others to tell your kids not to have their phones out at dinner? You can just do that yourself.

So if my wife and I want to look up the answer to a question, or check our calendar, we get charged more? Good business strategy there...
if someone keeps pulling out their phone while you’re eating with them, have you considered that you might just not be good company?
I feel like the original post rustled some jimmies
How was the photo made then?
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6398153 The world’s top scientists have already solved it luckily!
Moral of the story: always travel with your laptop.
At least they can't give you QR menus.
That's the secret - they can.
The father spends 10 hours a day on twitter and facebook looking at memes about liberals and millennials.
The father demanded his kids look unhappy for the photo as he hands his phone over to the waiter to take the pic.
With some random sports channel or fox news absolutely blasting in the background the entire time
Yea cause kids totally wanna have a conversation with their shitty father.
Why is the father shitty
In this case it's because he's clearly making them pose for the photo for internet credit
I think it's funny that the idea that they're all having fun taking a silly photo is beyond the realm of possibility

Thas a gen X tho
Oldest millennials are now 42.
So tons of millennials with teenage children.
We got old.
Ok, boomer.
Completely ignoring that Gen-X was ever a thing, lumping them in with a bigger group, is probably the most Gen-X thing ever.
Generations are fake, boomer.
I'll give a pass to a quick check if it's potentially something vital, but your latest post and the responses can wait for an hour. Focus on the moment at hand. Same gripe I have with people who sit there and film an entire concert rather than watch it.
this sentiment is just gonna make people not want to be around you though, maybe be more interesting to talk to if you want people to not pull out their phone?
It's perfectly fine to just spend time around others without interacting with them, it's basically just parallel play for adults.
And in many cases this sentiment is just straight up ableist, people with autism/ADHD commonly use their phone to keep themselves stimulated and happy, if you tell such a person to put away their phone you're being a massive dick.
I may not actively tell them to put it away, but it'll be noted for the future to determine if I feel like bothering to go with them.
I have a young kid, if they have a friend over and put on some single player game while their friend just sits there I'm going to point out that it's rude to have someone over and not include them in what you're doing.
