@EricBoehm87@reason@matthew_petti No, what would be strange is throwing a party and inviting a bunch of people that hate you and everything that you stand for and then letting them stay as long as they want.
@karol Keeping kids busy and active (off screens) doing something they enjoy with friends. Worth it. Our cost went up a lot the last few years because our town built a new turf facility within a scooter ride of our house, and we wanted them on teams that can practice and play there.
@tyromper@ZubyMusic There is middle ground between giving them a smart phone and no phones. Our kids (12 & 13) have old iphones that they can use for games, but they don't know the passcode and have to ask us to use them.
