My kid fits in just fine. She has plenty of friends.

Right? And I’m over here failing as a parent by buying books and letting her play outside. /s

Is there really fault at play here? I mean, is playing Minecraft a life skill that’s vital for a 5 year old to learn?

Maybe I’m parenting wrong, but my 5 year old has no idea what Minecraft is, let alone knows how to play it. The only video games she’s ever played is some Super Mario Bros 3 on a vacation once. She doesn’t even know how to do anything on our iPad except use the sketchpad app for drawing.

“Calculated Mediocrity” perfectly describes my career ambitions.
