No one warned me, when I became a parent, about all the apps that would colonize my phone: the app for the baby monitor where I could gaze at my daughter, even when my husband and I finally had a night out. The app for the Snoo smart bassinet we rented in bleary-eyed desperation, which logged her sleep by the minute. The app where I logged her sleep manually because the Snoo was not accurate enough. And still, I remember thinking that I had been quite restrained. I mean, I didn’t buy the $299 Owlet smart sock, which would send her pulse rate and oxygen saturation directly to my phone, or the $290 Nanit monitor, which would track her every breath.
Holy shit this article pissed me off big time. I think Children, Teens and adults should be allowed to end their parents for doing this to them. This is prison life, a fascist culture. Not every parent is Hitler, but there is a particle of Hitler in every parent. Constantly inventing danger even though violent crime and all else has been receding for decades.
