My parenting work is mostly done, but I had the opportunity to judge some strangers parenting skills.
I got a haircut today, my barber moved to new much bigger place since re-opening... there are now 5 guys cutting hair in a huge shop (the old place was a tiny hole in the wall that barely fit 3 chairs). A couple of them are playing GTA on a 100+" TV when I walked in.
While I'm in the chair, one of the partners (not the guy who cuts my hair) had his wife bring in their kid, I'd guess he was 4 or 5 yo. They sit the kid down and give him a controller and start showing him how to play GTA. Of course he's terrible, but there's all kinds of inappropriate shit going on in the game and the kid was clearly shocked by it. Lots of chuckles from the peanut gallery and a good time was had by all, but I felt kinda sorry for the kid whose parents didn't realize that a 4 year old can't process sex, drugs, violence and profanity.
