Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I rarely see the rides in use, but my guess is the permissive parent already gave the kid a tablet and tablets are way more addictive than mall rides
My ex-stepdaughter was the one to always go on those. No iPad or phone in public, but she was used to having constant interactive entertainment soooooo… yeah
Your what?
My ex-wife's daughter from a previous relationship. Used to be my stepdaughter, now she’s not. Maybe a weird way to phrase it, I guess.
Her mom never really had much time for her or later, our shared child. So the first one was super spoiled by smart devices from a very early age and the second one… idk, but I’m hoping I’ll do better than her.
I understand now. Wouldn't she still be your stepdaughter though? Unless you never shared custody over her / never bonded, and she's an adult now anyway.
Not shared custody because she has a father who now has custody of her 75% of the time. We actually cooperated to get our kids out of the witch's reach, but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible here to get her to lose custody altogether, even if there's a hundred reasons. They only remove kids from druggies and people with histories of violent crime.
