Think about it. So many fathers leaving their kids at the front door

[{"selector":"#anim-fafc303a-d2b2-4b5a-9025-c957b05a94fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d7dc241-e50f-4624-864e-72a8fb0d7d31","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.44589%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8a9b38a-29ba-4699-89af-89abd338849f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

His isn’t how it used to be, and readers know why. Or they should. In the days before 24-hour connectivity care of the Internet

[{"selector":"#anim-f73dfca1-3bdf-486e-8e96-d220efff8b9c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9211252c-2b77-4c9d-b083-5b52972ca77a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 110.20334%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cddc6a6b-12cc-4855-af66-be037bd7981e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

My kids see me every weekday morning right up to school drop-off. And this in no way makes me unique

[{"selector":"#anim-e58ec456-1db4-4c6b-9402-fd4af7c364a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ca9b38c-62ff-47e7-b1b3-9a63879f86be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 112.34080%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60b33d21-3fb3-4470-a7d1-de0047634430 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other prominent technology types suffered at the hands of grandstanding politicians

According to the ankle-biter from South Carolina, Zuckerberg and others “have blood” on their hands

what the parents of old would give for today’s problems! Kids spending lots of time on Facebook, Instagram and other popular social media sites
