Hard relate to all this Abby. For better or worse, the childhood of our children is worlds apart from our own and so many questions around this will only be answered with time.
Yes! My kids are younger (1 and 4) but I feel this way already. I have never had a video monitor for my kids and what you write here gets at the why. I don't want to look and I want them to be alone- really alone. Also, I have gotten off of all social media and the joy I feel when I learn something about a friend from them *in person* is sobering in a way. Thank you for writing.
I love this one!! She deserves privacy to become her own person. Would we put cameras in classrooms? (Oh, i guess we would. 🥺)
