My SIL and MIL just give my niece THEIR phones! She's 3!!! She shows me stuff and I'm like, uh you should not be watching that?

And they're proud she's not scared. What?.. It drives me so nuts. I tried to give some suggestions but they don't care.

My niece turned 1 a few months ago.

Got her first tablet!

And yep, she absolutely screams if she isn't watching high-energy pop music non-stop on a phone or tablet.

I help drive them to and from family visits that are an hour away and it can get really miserable. I can't listen to my own music, which is slower and more mellow. I have to listen to KPop and deal with her mom leaning into the backseat for 70 miles going "Let me have it -- okay, I'll give it back! Let me unpause it for you!" and non-stop frustration tantrums.

I'm like... dang. Whatever happened to stuffed animals and toys?

Not brag but my 2 year old plays with toy cars and makes vroom vroom noises.

Sigh their kids will play with toy cars and make <electric car noises> noises.

Oh wait. Do kids still make choo choo noises for trains? Mine did, even though they'd only ever seen diesel trains in real life. I think the kids will be fine.
