I don't realize how much technology rules our lives

[DaHeezy]

I saw my son was a little upset and asked him what the problem was. He said, "I want to ask you to play but you're always on the phone or computer and you tell me not to bother you." :(

It's crazy how we can't cope without our modern day technology. 20 years ago we didn't have these devices ruling our lives and we did just fine. I was a teenager then and remembered how much time I spent outdoors, hanging with my dad, just plain doing things that were active. We're so attached to our devices they are literally an extension of our bodies.

I'm going to make a concious effort to take an hour of each day to turn off the mobile, TV, computer and just have quality family time. I'm sure that the little time off won't affect me, but will greatly leave an impression on my family.

Seriously this is not far from the truth. The amount I work through my phone, it's always on me
And I do mean literally. We say it as an expression, but in a sense alot of us are attached to our mobile devices or laptops.

Doesn't take much to be a father. It takes a real man to be dad, however.

yeah but father sounds so much more elegant and masculine lol

Man I feel bad for his kids.

You realize you insult my wife too right? But for arguments sake you say you feel sorry for my kid, on what grounds? Do you know me personally?

Let's add up what my contributions as a father to my son and find out what exactly you feel sorry for him for:

- Me and my wife make more than a quarter of a million dollars annually combined, own our home and provide all basic neccessaties and then some for him.
- I work in a job where I can take the time to take him to school as well as pick him up everyday.
- I've given him an allowance of $50 twice a month since he was 4 (he's 7 now), in which he's learned to manage on his own money and uses his own savings to buy his wants, not to mention what his mother gives him
- I've enrolled him in every single sports program he's ever wanted to be in and been able to supply his needs including all fees and equiptment
- He's never been abused physically and verbally his whole life
- He has a large family on both sides of the family with alot of support

So why exactly do you feel sorry for him? He's probably more provided than anything you can spawn. In fact, you'd probably wish that I can be the father of your child. If anything, we should all feel sorry should your child for he has to inherit your looks and be subject to possible mental retardation

It really does. We're becoming dependant on it. Everything we do involves some sort of technology. I was having lunch with a friend the other day and she said "You dont realize how often you play with your phone instead of lookin at me.". She was right but I was playing words with friends. Atleast you could help me out, I'm down 45 f*cking pts.


I saw my son was a little upset and asked him what the problem was. He said, "I want to ask you to play but you're always on the phone or computer and you tell me not to bother you." :(

wow lots of hate flowing in this thread

thats brutal that you heard that from your son. i would hope your response would be a lot more than "an hour away from my tech per day", i doubt that will be enough to change the mind of a seven year old who feels ignored by his dad. but i guess if you're still in that upwards mobility stage of your life and need to be plugged in to succeed, you'll just have to find other ways of connecting more with your son, weekends or w/e. the fact that you think you can barely alter your own life and make a profound impact on your family's suggests misunderstanding of the situation imo



btw, are you fking kidding me with $100/month AT SEVEN?? the kid can learn to manage money with a whole lot less and you're just spoiling him filthy. the things we want only get more expensive as we grow older and if hes accustomed to a $25/week budget at 7, imagine his expectations at 10, 13, 16, etc. i would seriously consider lowering that. lol my dad gave me $2/week when he remembered which was at most every other week

Even when I have the best of intentions. I must really get to people

The kid isn't ignored completely. I take him to his soccer games, I take him with me anytime I need to run errands, grocery, and such. I'm with him as soon as I pick him up from school at 2:30. Weekends we go out as a family to see movies, swimming, visit cousins...
My job is being on the phone. I work as a small business consultant so 60% of it is on the phone or computer. That's the problem with my job is that I take calls all the time, so that means even during those play times with my son, so in essence it affects him to see me take these business calls. I'm pretty sure it's worse with other parents where they consume themselves more with the social media sites. Take a look at here. I only have 2600 posts in 6 years. I can't imagine what other people prioretize much more have less time in the day to spend with their families. Look at Dufusballs. He has 15,000 posts in less time. And I think I'm on the computer too much? At least when I'm on the computer I'm making money. I'm just talking shutting down for an hour, by the looks of it some of these guys need to shut it down, period.



btw, are you fking kidding me with $100/month AT SEVEN?? the kid can learn to manage money with a whole lot less and you're just spoiling him filthy. the things we want only get more expensive as we grow older and if hes accustomed to a $25/week budget at 7, imagine his expectations at 10, 13, 16, etc. i would seriously consider lowering that. lol my dad gave me $2/week when he remembered which was at most every other week

It goes also towards some of his wants. Video games, toys, etc... and we teach him the value of it. Plus the way I see it, $50 could have been spent on something completely useless, might as well put it in my kid's pocket.

[johndeeregreen]

No shit, first thing I thought. That is atrocious parenting. No wiggle room there. You keep that shit up and your kid will be a spoiled, entitled little prick his entire life. True story.

[RaininTwos]

how is giving a kid an allowance good parenting in the first place? i know my kid better get a job:oldlol:

I dont know, I learned the value of money way more when I had to hustle to get things I wanted. All the things that I've earned through hard work I have taken immaculate care of and valued way more than things that were given to me.

[johndeeregreen]

You don't learn the value of money by having it given to you for doing jack shit. That's not my opinion, that's a damn fact.

[DaHeezy]

What makes you think my son doesn't deserve it? It would be atrocious if my son acted spoiled, bragged to his friends, and didn't do anything to desevre it. He doesn't mistreat his parents in return. So what are you trying to say?

The kid helps around the house, keeps his room clean, has a pet which he's entirely responsible for, showers for himself everyday (trust me, if you have a kid you would know how difficult this is) and is respectful, maintains excellent grades and good reviews from his teacher, and is popular with his classmates. I think that's well deserved.

So maybe before you assume atrocious parenting, learn a little about the kid first. True story.

Ask any parent who has a kid in middle school how hard it is to get a kid to bath daily.
To answer, yes it is.
At 7, did you bath yourself everyday? Meaning your parents didn't have to tell you?

wait...wait...wait.....middle school? I thought your kid was seven? Is middle school something different in BC, because in Ontario, I went to a school that K-8......... what the f*ck

[Celtics4ever]

Isn't it interesting how much technology advanced in the past 100 years? Why did it happen all of a sudden? Makes you wonder about a lot of things.

[DaHeezy]

wait...wait...wait.....middle school? I thought your kid was seven? Is middle school something different in BC, because in Ontario, I went to a school that K-8......... what the f*ck

You don't have junior high? 7-9? K-6 is middle school. Pre-school, Middlie school(k-6), junior high(7-9), high school(10-12). Why does that bother you so much?

Dude, seriously, are you here to just criticize me? Because all you seem to do is reach for something negative to comeback with.

So he does everything just about any decent parent would be teaching their child to do anyways, except instead of doing it because you're teaching him responsibility, he does it for money. Wow, good for you!!

[DaHeezy]

So he does everything just about any decent parent would be teaching their child to do anyways, except instead of doing it because you're teaching him responsibility, he does it for money. Wow, good for you!!

So I reward my son with an allowance, that makes me a bad parent? :facepalm . Also pretty douchey of you to ASSume he's doing it for money. It's not like he says to me,"dad, I'm not taking a bath unless I see that money in my bank account." Quit assuming JDG.

First off, do you have a kid? Because maybe I could accept it a little better you criticizing my ways of parenting, but if you don't seriously, what the hell is your problem? Nobody that really matters to me seems to have a problem with it. Not my parents, my wife's parents don't, my friends and other families don't.

There are parents who beat their kids, make them do manual labour for nothing, do not allow them to have social lives, and you come at me because I give my kid an allowance? Maybe you should rethink how you view bad parents. Because it seems the amount I give my kid bothers you, well, it doesn't bother me, and frankly it's none of your business. So instead of projecting your duchiness to pick on me for something so minute, go focus on a REAL bad parent.

[AI3Anthony]

Man, you guys are brutal on this guy.

[DaHeezy]

You said your kid is 7, and then that it's in middle school. Either it's a genius or, it's not 7, or it's not in middle school.

He's in grade 2. We refer to that as middle school. It's comical this seems to be an issue. Did you not understand the breakdown of the schooling system I just showed?

[RaininTwos]

You don't have junior high? 7-9? K-6 is middle school. Pre-school, Middlie school(k-6), junior high(7-9), high school(10-12). Why does that bother you so much?

Dude, seriously, are you here to just criticize me? Because all you seem to do is reach for something negative to comeback with.

I'm here to give my input.

Now I understand that school districts are different in different countries and shit like that, but how in the world is that Middle school? A kid in Kindergarten is a middle schooler? :rolleyes:

So what is primary or elementary school then? Is that pre-k where you live? lol

That makes no sense. That's just down right silly.

[DaHeezy]

Middle school = junior high in the US. I just didn't understand why you started talking about middle school when you supposedly had a 7 year old.


Elementary school (K-5 or 6)
middle school/junior high (6 or 7-8)
high school (9-12)

Just misunderstood.

Fair enough

[KG215]

You realize you insult my wife too right? But for arguments sake you say you feel sorry for my kid, on what grounds? Do you know me personally?

Let's add up what my contributions as a father to my son and find out what exactly you feel sorry for him for:

- Me and my wife make more than a quarter of a million dollars annually combined, own our home and provide all basic neccessaties and then some for him.
- I work in a job where I can take the time to take him to school as well as pick him up everyday.
- I've given him an allowance of $50 twice a month since he was 4 (he's 7 now), in which he's learned to manage on his own money and uses his own savings to buy his wants, not to mention what his mother gives him
- I've enrolled him in every single sports program he's ever wanted to be in and been able to supply his needs including all fees and equiptment
- He's never been abused physically and verbally his whole life
- He has a large family on both sides of the family with alot of support


But when's the last time you and your son went out on the front porch, cracked open a couple of cold ones, and talked about life while the sun set?

[DaHeezy]

so does your son's friends and classmates that he gets a 100 dollar a month allowance for doing his chores?

IDK, none of my business to pry on what other parents decide to reward their kids with.

[DaHeezy]

:coleman:

I don't want to start a new thread when you can give me advice here.

Well, in all honesty I don't think anybody has a right to tell your sister how to raise her kid. As long as she has a good support system around her and loves her kid then who cares what I have to say?

Now I'll sit here and wait for the negative spins on this post.

It's crazy how we can't cope without our modern day technology. 20 years ago we didn't have these devices ruling our lives and we did just fine. I was a teenager then and remembered how much time I spent outdoors, hanging with my dad, just plain doing things that were active. We're so attached to our devices they are literally an extension of our bodies.

I'm going to make a concious effort to take an hour of each day to turn off the mobile, TV, computer and just have quality family time. I'm sure that the little time off won't affect me, but will greatly leave an impression on my family.

- I've enrolled him in every single sports program he's ever wanted to be in and been able to supply his needs including all fees and equiptment
- He's never been abused physically and verbally his whole life
- He has a large family on both sides of the family with alot of support

So why exactly do you feel sorry for him? He's probably more provided than anything you can spawn. In fact, you'd probably wish that I can be the father of your child. If anything, we should all feel sorry should your child for he has to inherit your looks and be subject to possible mental retardation


RESPECT :oldlol:

Sounds to me like you're just an inattentive shitty ass father.

I waste so many hours on my laptop doing nothing. I could be exercising or studying. It's always nice when situations come up where you can't have internet or a cell phone. My vacations in Mazatlan have always been the most fun times of my life.

[rufuspaul]

It goes also towards some of his wants. Video games, toys, etc... and we teach him the value of it. Plus the way I see it, $50 could have been spent on something completely useless, might as well put it in my kid's pocket.

5 hour "study" session is actually a 1 hr my mat lab and 4 hours ish/facebook/ebay/craigslist with my matlab tab open in the background lol

:facepalm

SERIOUSLY?
You obviously don't like me, and anytime you post it's obviously fishing for an argument, but facepalming the fact a kid wants video games?

What faulking kid on earth doesn't like video games and would want to spend their allowance on them? This has got to be the stupidest excuse for a facepalm in the history of ISH. Facepalming because my son spends his allowance on video games.
Dude, if you want to post hate, don't be an idiot about it. Smarten up

[DaHeezy]

one hour only ?

That's one hour of down time, on top of the other actvities I do with my son.

I'm more stating the fact is alot of our time is interupted because I leave my cell phone on or work on my computer.

Besides, I doubt many of us here spend one quality hour a night with their families every night.

[DeuceWallaces]

You realize you insult my wife too right? But for arguments sake you say you feel sorry for my kid, on what grounds? Do you know me personally?

Let's add up what my contributions as a father to my son and find out what exactly you feel sorry for him for:

- Me and my wife make more than a quarter of a million dollars annually combined, own our home and provide all basic neccessaties and then some for him.
- I work in a job where I can take the time to take him to school as well as pick him up everyday.
- I've given him an allowance of $50 twice a month since he was 4 (he's 7 now), in which he's learned to manage on his own money and uses his own savings to buy his wants, not to mention what his mother gives him
- I've enrolled him in every single sports program he's ever wanted to be in and been able to supply his needs including all fees and equiptment
- He's never been abused physically and verbally his whole life
- He has a large family on both sides of the family with alot of support

So why exactly do you feel sorry for him? He's probably more provided than anything you can spawn. In fact, you'd probably wish that I can be the father of your child. If anything, we should all feel sorry should your child for he has to inherit your looks and be subject to possible mental retardation

This is comedy gold. Ninety percent of this is "I take care of my kid." Which is really funny within itself. Unless again, you think about your poor kid. Anyway I was more speaking toward your intellectual ineptitude and the general idiocy you display on ISH. The fact you're here so much to begin with, and the stupid, and usually fake stories you come up to somehow come off as, I'm not sure what the point is, but whatever.

I read the post above, I think about all the stupid shit you say here before this, and well, I just feel sorry for that poor kid, because he'll probably grow up to be just a big of a dipshit as his father. Maybe your wife is helping, but on the other hand she was stupid enough to marry you, so that's probably out. Let's hope the kid gets hooked up with an intelligent high school teacher or college professor to get him going, because it's sure not coming from the DaHeezy.

Just one more idiot breeding. I guess that's what makes the world go around.

Picking on a defensless kid and insulting the morst beautiful woman and mother in the world. New low for you. Based on his allowance, he doesn't need to hook up, he probably makes more that you!

Because playing video games at the age of 7 is counterproductive to raising a child that is healthy of mind and body.

this is a complete reach

I'm actually questioning if you're a good father. Really? So my kid isn't allowed to play video games? Because if he does he'll grow up to be worthless? Did you not read the part where I stated he gets great grade and I take him to his sport acivities?

I feel sorry for your kids, no video games? C'mon man, that's taking it a little too far. I'd say you're the worst father in the world if you don't allow your kids to play video games. Did you play video games when you were seven? Are you saying you're a couch potato?

This is the stupidest statement ever on here and clearly a reach.

I'm dropping off my kid at school right now. I'll just lecture the parents in my son's grade and warn them if their kid continues to play video games then they'll end up to be worthless couch potatoes on your advice. Looks like it's going to be a long morning because I'll be talking to EVERY parent in my son's grade.

It's a matter of discipline, as any decent parent knows. Video games, like candy, aren't necessarily bad unless they are abused through lack of proper parenting. But hey, your lack of hands-on parenting and the guilt you feel about it (the reason you made the thread) are okay because you give a 7 year old a wad of cash every month. Good for you. :applause:

Haha, another reach for a statement.

Man, this is a new low for you. It takes a real tool to take from this thread and criticize someone for their parenting. It takes an even bigger tool to for a POS like you to use your own personal agenda against a poster and use it as ammo to critcize a good parent.
Tell us, hat do YOU do as a father? Judging from how I manage my time on here and work, still have time for my kid, I couldn't imagine how neglected YOUR kid may be, considering you have over 10,000 posts in less time than me, and your job probably entails you have very little home time. At least I have the time and awareness to ask my kid what was wrong. Tell me, have you turned to your kid and asked him if it bothers him so much that you're on your computer? Have you asked your wife? My guess is no, and considering how much you're on here, I'd be concerned how neglected they feel. You can set a new precedence. The first ISH memeber to lose his family through neglect because he choses his ISH family :oldlol:

Do me a favor, PM me your address and send me your kid's t-shirt size. I'm going to make a shirt for them that says BTE so that everytime you look at them you can remind yourself that your kids are more important that ISH.

2) I'm not picking on the kid. I'm expressing empathy for him, because he has a pair of idiot parents.

Tell him yourself. While he's maxing and relaxing playing his video games and sitting and his wad of cash, I'm sure he'll agree


3) Those who know better, not can't. Any idiot can stick his dick in a hole. You're living proof.

Compared to an idiot who can't find a hole to stick his dick into, I'm doing pretty good

This thread is about parenting and dependance on technology. You're making it into an agenda.
Dude, all you're succeeding at is making yourself look like someone who was butt hurt by me. Do me a favor, if you don't like me, address me in PM or a seperate thread, don't fish with weak arguments and unfounded insults.

When you PM me your address, please include that t-shirt size. i'd really like to send you that shirt.

Anyway you made this thread about your pathetic life. If attempting to insult me, someone you know nothing about, makes you feel better then you're even more pathetic than I thought.

Go throw some more cash at your little rug rat so you can sleep at night.

Then be more productive at work. I work from home as well and I spend a fifth of my time on here compared to you, not to mention the other meaningless shyt you waste your time with. And you telling me it's all during work? Please, instead of looking at me and what I do, again, ask your kid and see what he says. Ask your wife too. In fact, put her on here, let's see what she says.

As for attempting to insult you, dude, I NEVER once started an attack on you. Your stupid ass keeps on asking for it by posting all these petty insults. You seem to want to start something. So ask YOURSELF why are YOU insulting somebody you know nothing about? The faulking irony with that statement. You have some faulkin nerve.

Again, I suggest if you don't like me address me personally instead of continuing to look like a butthurt. They are still unfounded and petty. My life is great BTW, you however seem to be bothered by something about it since you try and nitpick at it every chance you get. I smell nevy. I think your kid smells envy too since I let my kid play video games. But you neglect your child so you don't know.

Why so much hate?:coleman:

Let the man have his eureka moment, even if some others think that the answers are obvious.

Instead of acting all "holier-than-thou", you should be less concerned about how much controversy and pages get this thread, and more about agreeing with him on whatever is right, and criticizing only what's wrong.

Just because we think a man makes mistakes as a parent doesn't mean that they are wrong in everything he does in that role. It doesn't mean that his children will grow to be failures or criminals. This thread devolved into a baseless competition. The attention placed more on yourselves than on the issues, or the children.

C'mon people, relax.

THANK YOU

Again, I'm a little dissappointed at the fact that I post this with good intentions and a valuable lesson yet it's converted into an agenda to attack me personally. Instead of positively contributing to the OP they ruin the thread by agenda driven insults. I did not once initiate any hate towards anybody here yet people salivated at the change to take something I post and flip it to make me look like a bad person.
But I appreciate you actually having the proper sense and stand up for the right thing.

It's pointless arguing with you because you don't pay attention. I don't work from home, never said I did. I rarely post from home (except for the occasional drunken late night rant :D ) and you know nothing about me. You made this thread and you don't like the comments it brings? Don't make the fukking thread then.

Read what the above guy said.
I made this thread, but comments like yours have personal agenda behind them, so obvious I'll react. Esentially YOU make the thread intolerable.
tell me, if thorpe or kblaze made this thread would you have responded to it the same way?
What was wrong with the thread I made? It was a perfectly good thread, but posters like YOU ruin it by making it personal and not relating to the topic. So yeah I'll continue making threads like this, and if they get derailed by idiots like you then I can't be blamed for a bad thread.

I agree with this guy. Perfect example of when threads go wrong.

I have no problem with the OP's statement. I agree 100% that we spend too much time on our mobile devices and less concentrating on the attention of our families. But somehow this has deviated into pissing match.

Rufuspaul- Do you actually disagree with the thread or do you just not like the poster? Beacuse from the looks of it, it does seem you're more focused on him than the thread itself. But instead of proving your point you're losing the respect of the audience. You're more stooping to the level of the poster.

Had a lady from the projects who sought the military to escape her conditions and is now doing prenatal tracheotomies.
Met a business-oriented person exchange decide to flip over to pediatrics, and had a kid during her third year of rotations.
Met a person who worked blue collar jobs till age 47 (NOTHING wrong with that contrary to what *******s believe) and saisd f*ck it I'm gonna pursue radiology.. Finishing up his residency in his early 50's.

My wife works as a paralegal in the same law firm for about 10 years. She also runs a small business on the side designing arrangements. Does things from wedding centerpieces to christmas wreaths.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

im not going to judge. but why would you give your kid that amount of money at such a young age? i never got more than 5$ til i was 10

[sunsfan1357]

You noticed? :oldlol:
I find it comical that I'm actually sharing valuable parenting advice yet what concerns the posters is how much allowance I give my kid? What middle school is?

Valuable parenting advice like don't ignore your kid and give him a shit load of money when he's 4?

No spinderella, to spend quality time with family. And if you understood what you just quoted, you know the allowance thing is the concerns of others.

Look at this dipshyt trying to join the pile on gang. Does it make feel better to take a shot at me? Everybody has gotten the point already. We've already moved passed that

Yes. Yes it does.

[Upgrayedd]

Yep. It's pathetic and only getting worse with ipads and iphones and other smart phones that you can go online and watch shows and listen to music with. I feel bad for kids nowadays. They're in front of the computer/TV way too much instead of going outside and acting like a real kid.

This summer, I'm going to make it a point to only spend about an hour on the computer at the most during the day and do it around 9 or 10 at night so I have the whole day to go out and do something.

Yep. It's pathetic and only getting worse with ipads and iphones and other smart phones that you can go online and watch shows and listen to music with. I feel bad for kids nowadays. They're in front of the computer/TV way too much instead of going outside and acting like a real kid.

I never see any of that now. I spent my summers as a kid always outside. Most of the time it was me going to a friend's house, knocking on their front door and asking if they wanted to come outside and play. We rode bikes, went to the park, went up to the pool. When we weren't doing something our parents were making sure we were busy by taking us swimming or up to the arcades or to the show. We were always doing something because we had been so sick of sitting down at a desk at school all year. Now? Kids go to school, come home and play video games or go on the computer. It sucks.

I bought a bike a few years back and loved riding it. Then I stopped and did the same shit again that I'm complaining about now. But I'm tired of it and tired of it for good. I'm going for bike rides this summer, going to swim, calling up some of my friends and see if they want to start a softball team or just shoot some hoops. I'm so tired of sitting in front of a computer or TV or playing video games.
