how are you supposed to raise kids anymore

Modern kids (aside from your own genius-level progeny of course) seem to spend all their time bolted to a PC or a phone, don't appear to have any interests or skills, no drive to do much of anything. Even those under control at home will, of course, have friends.

The central enemy here is a combination of the internet, video games, cell phones. The side effect is a lack of skills, knowledge, and attention span.

I was trying to think of my own way to deal with that if I had children. About all I can think of is military school, become Amish or living in a cabin, or saying fuck it and buying a large sailboat.

My parents always made me go outside
