While it’s unclear where the family stands, the Pew Research Center looked at how American teens spend their time in 2019.

They typically spend an hour a day doing homework, which they noted is “more than 44 minutes a day about a decade ago and 30 minutes in the mid-1990s.”

And they enjoy five hours and 44 minutes of free time a day, although most of it, three hours and four minutes, is spent on screens.

“This figure, which can include time spent playing games, surfing the Internet, watching videos and watching TV, has remained constant over the past decade. On weekends, screen time rises to almost four hours a day (three hours, 53 minutes) and on weekdays, teens spend two hours and 44 minutes in front of screens,” they said.

Sport is another great hobby, as the study reveals: “The time spent playing sports has remained constant at around 45 minutes, as has the time adolescents spend on other types of leisure, such as shopping for clothes, listening to music and read for pleasure.

“Boys also spend more time playing sports: 59 minutes versus 33 minutes for girls.”

In an update, the mom said her kids get “an hour or two of practice some days,” but said as soon as they feel “overwhelmed or stressed,” they’ll let their parents know.

The mother praised her children’s achievements in the post, saying, “I’m so proud of them and all of their achievements and I have photos, medals, trophies, etc. all over the house. I don’t think this is weird or anything.” out of the ordinary.”

She explained his mother was visiting and after they came home from a family outing, after she decided to stay home because she was “tired”, mom noticed that items were missing.

“When we got back we noticed a framed photo of my oldest son on stage + some of his dance medals, two of my second son’s swimming medals and another framed photo but of my daughter playing the violin and one of her certificates. they were missing.

“My mom was quick to admit that she deleted them because she felt I was showing off too much and that we seemed obsessed and smug. Apparently, we are being vulgar? To top it off, he decided to make fun of my oldest son for doing ballet too.

He even made a Facebook post about how disrespectful and ungrateful his own children are.”

“My husband asked her if she was serious, but she just told us that she would return the things once she left. I started laughing in disbelief and told her to return them immediately since she is leaving now,” she said furiously.

When she told her mother to go away, the older woman was shocked and claimed that it was not her fault. The younger woman retrieved the items she took, such as her mom “cursed” her and her husband all the time.

The mom added: “He even made a Facebook post about how disrespectful and ungrateful your own children are. My sister is horrified that she kicked her out because she is our mother, older and a woman from an unknown town, but my mother always travels, so I don’t know why she is so important. Aita?”

Charlie_Parkers_Mood said: “NTA. What your mother did was extremely disrespectful and controlling. She had no right to take your things or insult you and especially your son. She owes your entire family an apology and until she gives you that apology you should Limit contact with her.

NewAir0803 joked, “NTA. Snob? In your OWN house? Lmao that’s ridiculous.”

Though some people warned her to make sure not to become a helicopter mom, she stressed, “I wouldn’t call myself a tiger mom and neither would my children. They know very well that my love is not conditional.”

A tiger mom is defined as “a mother who is very determined to see her son succeed and makes him work very hard”, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
