Kids think their parents are experts, but in many respects they're complete noobs. If you're the oldest child, you're probably the first n-year old your parents have ever had to deal with.

I constantly have the feeling that my 10 year old son is more experienced at being a 10 year old than I am at being the parent of one.

So much so that I *almost* believe his claims that "everyone" is allowed to play Fortnite. But not quite.

My 10- and 12- year olds get to play Overwatch, because it is team based, and relatively gore free. No Fortnite.

That’s where kids hang out these days! That’s like telling him he’s not allowed to go to the park with his friends (besides the fresh air and exercise, but still..)

Replace Fortnite with "Space Invaders", "Zork" or "300 Baud Modem" and it will all come back to you...

As a friend of mine tells his boys when they complain about video game and phone restrictions, "That's funny, every parent I mention this to has the same restrictions we have."

Actually, he is correct there; and the sooner the better, or he won't win often enough.

We recently got "parent-shamed" for not allowing our kid to have his own smartphone at school. "I'm one of last 2 students without a phone!", he said. In the next parents' gathering, turned out many other kids had used this trick too to get a phone.
