Even that, they really needed to curate their shit better.

Hell they should have a service, paid by the developper, where you could get your app "Microsoft approved" so that it would be in a different section of the store.

That way I could make it so meemaw and grandpa can actually download VLC on their new PC without pestering me for half a year until I fly over for Thanksgiving.

Lazy parenting. The only tablet time my kids get(7 and 4) are the educational tablets we borrow from the library and that's not too often. But I would say the main reason why my kids aren't on the internet yet is because we're way too damn busy. We've got school Mon-Fri, hockey practice on Saturday, swim lessons Monday after school, tae kwan do on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Both now want to play baseball during the summer and my oldest wants to do flag football in the fall. Fuck, I'm tired just typing that out. Sundays we like to stay home and recuperate, which involves playing legos and all that, but staying active really helps stay away from the traps of lazy parenting like giving a kid a tablet to keep them quiet.
