Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

  My kids are 30ish. If he’s sneaking out, his punishment comes from his wife, which i suspect is more effective than any grounding he got from us. 😁 Niece’s and nephews are late 30s-mid 40s. The older ones seem more likely to go out later and stay someplace longer drinking and chatting than the younger ones.

    Oh, they are full grown adults. During the week, they are grinding at work. Sometimes they just want to come home and reset with their own family (wife, kids, games, catch up on shows, whatever). Not sure what their commute or work is like, but I can definitely see dipping out on random family events early or just not going out completely. Especially during working days.

    I think you just need to plan it better. Maybe schedule family dinner and events on the weekends.

  Kids seem depressingly lethargic these days. They will probably doomscroll tiktok instead of going out with friends.

      I don’t have any expectations. I’m not making a judgement. Just an observation.

    I don’t think you deserve the negative reaction you’re getting. I think it just hit a nerve with some people. There does seem to be more depression in younger people and lethargy is a symptom of that.

      I don’t like it any more than anyone else. I believe social media has a negative impact on children and likely all people who use it.
