my stepdad became an ipad kid the second he got a mobile phone. he ignores all of us and plays games on there. it’s so depressing because he rather play blick block than be with his wife and kids

Bro seriously I was trying to talk to my mom about my haircut and trying to get her opinion and I wasn’t even done talking and she just starts watching a video on her phone. It actually pisses me off so much cause she does it constantly, I feel like her phone/videos on insta are more important than me :/

I think about this ALL THE TIME! They used to get onto us for being on our phones and now the tables have turned and they’re ALWAYS on their phones! They’re always using it and yet don’t know how to do simple things like sending an email 🤦‍♀️ I get so annoyed having to teach them these things I had to each myself

this is exactly my dad. except hes doing shit on ebay bc he doesnt have facebook and screenshotting like 30,000 things into his camera roll and has the sound all the way up and his ringer on, bc he wants to "keep track of things he bought". like homie, thats way too many screenshots to have saved in your camera roll😭😭
