My gf's son is being a Boobaby because we told him he needed to go outside and play

There's nothing to do, no more nature to play in.

LET THE KID BE

once they get out there it's not so bad, it's the initial
"getting out there" part thats hard

the things you have to do to get a decent BJ nowadays, eh OP?

OP can't hit his bong or ream his gf's kid's mom's face if the kid won't get out of the grd-drmmd trailer.

'Murika, Fuck ya!

He does all that shit in front of the kid anyway.

Good!

All the FUKISHIMA radiation will do his American body good!

damn, when I was a kid, playing outside was the norm. now kids wanna be glued to their tvs and video games.

Television and computer games are both designed to be more entertaining than reality is.

Kids used tohave to suffer through the Brady Bunch, that or go and hang around outside, play a game, walk around... You get the picture.

Now, nothing wrong with the Bradys (OK, as an aside, that has to be the name of a new sequel. "Nothing Wrong With the Bradys" It can be about the incestuous and dysfunctional next generation of the clan.)but the show itself didn't posses jump cuts, they held to slow and even static camera work and the sound was subdued compared to what kids see now.

This has nothing to do with plot, story or acting.

It's all about nervous system excitation.

To the modern child's mind, reality seems slow, boring and lacks much to make it interesting at all.

Video games have constant events going on to keep them entertained as well as bright colors and so on.

Worse, they have no clue what to do when sent outside. When you were a child you could go start a baseball game with friends, go to a park, try to drown yourself in the river or molest a neighbor girl. (Come on, you know that "Playing Doctor" is a felony now, don't you?)

Today's kids don't have those skills at all.

Their brains have literally been rewired to need nearly constant excitation. They have less ability to pay attention for instance. TL;DR isn't just a joke. It's a mental handicap that has affected millions of people.

So, don't blame the kid. You let the outdoors become boring and unpleasant for him.

Just pushing him outside won't fix it either. It will take years to rewire his brain.

So, what do you plan to do to fix this? My guess? Nothing much.
