Where do people land on screen time? TV, iPads, phones, whatever.

As a non breeder I've noticed the difference between parents with otherwise similar circumstances is massive on this.
My kids are 16 and 13 (not really kids anymore) hence prime targets for gaming, social media etc. Neither of them give two shits about SM which I am ever so thankful for however my son loves gaming but so do I. We don't really set a limit but we do ensure it doesn't get out of hand by doing family things together.

My son really wanted a decent gaming pc and I wasn't about to fork out for that so I made him a deal.that if he was serious I'd match what he saved to get one, little prick saved two grand........

What's with kids and beating these savings goals?! I told my two they could get a Nintendo Switch if they saved up for it thinking no ****ing chance a 5 and 7 year old can save up that much money without blowing it on lollies and stuffed toys. They outsmarted me - pooled their money together and went halvsies. When I was a kid the biggest purchase I made was a $45 bookcase. Every other time I got a couple of bucks it burnt a hole in my pocket.
