Netflix
Agree with Gordon. From day one, stuff comes and goes. They've never had everything available at all times. I've never been under the impression that Netflix had everything and would always have everything.

The comments on that article are interesting. I fall in the camp of "go to bed" instead of "pretend they're staying up for New Years". When did it become wrong to set milestones for your kids that they can start doing different things at different ages?

The first time I let my kid stay up til midnight for New Year's... the first time til midnight in his life, actually... he was 5. He got so overly tired he puked all over his bed 15 minutes after the ball dropped.Vince wrote:The comments on that article are interesting.

So maybe he hit that milestone a little too soon?GORDON wrote:The first time I let my kid stay up til midnight for New Year's... the first time til midnight in his life, actually... he was 5.

I don't feel so bad now. Your kid just generally pukes whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. He's like Stan from Southpark.

Actually, he has puked fewer than 10 times his entire life. I can almost list every time. There was like 4 years between 1 and 5 when he hadn't puked at all.
edit - One of the more memorial times was the day after we got new carpet. He wanted to camp out on it overnight. In the middle of the night he puked tacos all over it.

I don't think letting kids stay up to see the ball drop is where the "Be a better parent" flag needs to be stuck into the ground.
It's a single night of the year and if parents want to deal with crabby kids for 3 hours while they wait for the ball to drop, who does it affect except them? Those annoying little shits are the reason they're not out drunk with their friends, why can't they enjoy them?
As for what Netflix is doing, just accept that it's kind of a cool thing a corporation is doing for parents that they didn't have to do and move on.
That's your fault. How could you not see that was a setup? That situation had only one possible outcome.

I was actually online gaming with you when it happened. I didn't know he had puked in his sleep until my drunk wife got home from the bar and started screaming. She's uptight even when sober. That was a fun night.Leisher wrote:That's your fault. How could you not see that was a setup? That situation had only one possible outcome.
Gordo had to Regulate.

I don't mind parents letting their kids stay up. Doesn't make them a bad parent. Don't think they're bad parents if they tell their kids they're too young yet to do it. It's just the pretending it's midnight for the kids because you don't want them staying up, but are too gutless to tell them to go to bed that bothers me I guess. If you can't make a decision on something simple like this without resorting to lying to your kid, then you probably weren't ready to have them.Leisher wrote:I don't think letting kids stay up to see the ball drop is where the "Be a better parent" flag needs to be stuck into the ground.

You're WAY overcritical of this. What is wrong with some folks pretending it's midnight so they can celebrate with their kids while still being responsible parents and getting them to bed at a good time?
Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, religion, etc.
I'm just not seeing the harm to society.

Atticus Finch had it figured. You lie to your kids, they lie to you.

Telling kids there's a Santa because you want them to have that magic of Christmas is a different beast from telling kids it's midnight when it's actually 9 PM because you don't have a sack big enough to tell them they have to wait until they're older before they can stay up with you.
Santa is hard. It's something you're doing FOR your kid. This is just lazy and something the parents are doing for themselves because apparently parenting is hard.
