Forcing them to be out of the house is a great way to ensure they never have the time to practice their expressed interest in programming that can eventually lead to a lucrative career.

I’ve tried to encourage that many times… doesn’t seem to be taking.

Every kid I met hates/doesn’t appreciate what their parents do/are at all. Like 0. I think it’s an evolutionary adaptation.

are you seriously arguing that children are better off in front of a computer than playing sports with their friends?

Seriously maybe? What's so special about playing sports with friends? Why is that sooooo important? I never had an interest in sports, and so I made friends with other kids that had no interest in sports.

It’s good to expose kids to aggression, understand group behavior, working as a team, also good for physical/mental health. Learning a little aggression/to recognize aggression is good later in life. I don’t like the stereotype of the smart nerd being taken advantage of by the less smart bro he works for.
