What a first world take on this, it’s not a requirement at all. Parent your fucking children. My kids watch D+ maybe once or twice a month, my wife and I honestly watch it more frequently than they do because they have shows we like. We could drop it tomorrow if our budget needed to be trimmed.
I do not have a Disney subscription or children. It’s amazing how far people will stretch things to internet dunk on folks.
Is it that hard to follow that I’m simply talking about the topic of this post? A person posts a picture of the rise of costs for Disney+. I simply state I can understand why people would still justify the price and then people start pulling it into weird directions to justify their hatred of Disney. Whatever. Take care.
A fairly aggressive comment. I’m not the person you replied to, but as a parent with young ones, there are times where TV is literally an enormous rescuer. For example, just a couple of months ago, the entire family got hit with an extremely nasty stomach bug. I could barely walk without needing to either throw up or shit my pants. Being able to setup a little triage center in our living room for us and the kids, where we napped and watched movies all day, made that experience at least mostly bearable.
There are numerous other cases where modern technology makes parenting far easier. Back in the day, communities were much closer knit and extended family lived within the neighborhood, so parents had a lot more backup to help in those situations. Nowadays, that kind of support network is increasingly rare for parents to have. So yes, it’s a luxury, but it should be an accessible luxury. Private companies are free to do what they want, doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it while begrudgingly continuing to pay for it.

You go on some strange rant about people raising their kids and then proceed to validate my comment.
Odd. Take care friend.
Your comment makes it sound like you can’t give it up because your kids use it too much. I didn’t validate anything.
