I’m just going to come out and say it. Smart phones, texts, apps like Instagram – they all make me want to keep my kids little forever. I wrote a post for BabyCenter about how raising kids in the digital era scares the C.R.A.P. out of me.
I’d love to know what you think.
**********************
I’m not a saint. When I think back on my high school days, there are moments that make me cringe, even almost two decades later. I did some stupid stuff.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Kissed the wrong boys. Kissed the right boys at the wrong time. Partied too much. Engaged in activities that may or may not have been legal.
But I was lucky. I grew up in an era where the only way to remember those moments was and is memory (or perhaps an errant camera on spring break!) Mobile phones? Not around. There was no option to text, Instagram or Facebook unfortunate instances as they happened for all the world to see. Cybershaming didn’t exist yet.
To read more, hope on over to BabyCenter.
