I hear and read about the parent's grief in TRYING to raise children in this Massive Tech World...

Thinking back when I was raising my 1 child in CA, aka Hollywood land, was

Fighting giving into buying gold chains and other gold jewelry...it was it's highest when she was in Jr. High..... and

Buying her a phone of her own.

And I believe that it was all Worse here in CA aka Hollywood than it would have been if we had stayed in PA.....

Maybe someone can understand this here.

And now many yrs later, it's way way WORSE...

So much money here and glitz etc....

Yes its mucho worse...........

Very sad is what it is :(
