Parents have hard enough jobs as it is! Technology has made some aspects of parenting somewhat easier, however I feel like it is the easy way out! However most parents say that it actually complicates things more because they are disciplining less and caving or giving in way more to their kids.
"About 70 percent of parents said that smartphones and tablets didn’t make parenting any easier, according to the June 2013 survey."
It's a tough world and technology is making it so that kids feel entitled to such great privileges without earning anything.
