The "wolves" in the title are the various social media outlets preying on people. All this omnipresent mental garbage in the world today doesn't just affect young people, but I my concern is not with the socially retarded adults of the world - just with my own family unit.
If I have to walk into a room one more time and see a bunch of young people NOT talking to each other because they have their phones jammed in their faces, I'm going to fucking freak out.
I love my children. FULL STOP. (Getting telegraphic up in here ...)
But ... (there's always a "but" isn't there?) ... they treat each other like shit. They are generally acceptable in social situations (because of proper training, I assume), but they are mean, vindictive, dismissive and belittling to each other. Perhaps this behavior is some sort of byproduct of Social Media Disease? Like, instead of having genital flare-ups, they have verbal vomit that spews when they are forced to interact?
I am a peacekeeper by nature. I don't like dissention, especially when it occurs at the dinner table (living room, kitchen, hallway, car ...), and I can't bear to think that they actually (like, for REAL) don't like each other.
I assume it's a phase. I assume they will grow up to like each other. I assume they will hug it out later on in life and have cocktails. But it would be REALLY great if they could get that shit over with right now and let me enjoy them, together, rather than mediating every single interaction (I wouldn't call any of their interactions "conversations") in which they engage.
Can't a girl just get some fucking peace?!
