I see the goal of parenting is not to insulate or protect your children from the world and its infinite threats. Instead parents should equip their children with good judgment by the time they’re adults. It’s impossible to put up enough bubble wrap to stop fools from injuring themselves. You rightly point out smoking due to the addictive nature of nicotine, which is an extreme example. Roblox, we can both agree (I bet) is less extreme. At the end of the day you cannot legislate everything and need to pick and choose the worst offenders, which I do not see Roblox making the cut. Should we try to rid the world of sharp rocks through legislation? Where’s the line? It falls in the screen time and wild internet categories for me, which do need to be managed by me. The best solution is teaching good judgment and modeling good behavior, and there’s really no way around the hard work it takes to parent. Roblox shouldn’t be blamed for parents who do not or cannot spend time with their children to get it right. You’re not wrong, we simply differ on where to draw the line.

Yeah, exactly.

Reminds me the ol "if all your friends jumped off a bridge would you do it too?"

Some parents these days seem to think the solution is that you shouldn't be able to jump off the bridge in the first place.

Yeah, I didn't have a phone until a few years after my peers because my mother knew damn well I'd go cause problems for the whole family if I was on the internet. Too social lol
