The screenshot means that at the very least one new grownup individual can’t deal with the idea of keys.

“Call all girl moms,” it reads. “What is your daughter using for room key? We have looked at so many things but cannot find something easy to remember and handy. I mean she opens our garage and house with an app so remembering to take a key everywhere she goes is going to be a lot.”

Attas underlined the second half of the final sentence.

Not to sound like Grandpa Simpson, however again in our day, we didn’t have apps for opening locks. You had a hoop of keys that you simply stored in your purse or pocket to open your own home, automotive, and anything which may want locking. If you may bear in mind a cellphone, why not a key?

Other mothers needed to find out about dorm rooms so the may repair it up for his or her kids.

“I can remember a couple posts of moms asking room dimensions because they wanted to decorate their son’s dorm room,” wrote @Dave96402973. “What self respecting college guy wants his mommy decorating his room?”

Further down within the feedback, issues began to get actual bizarre.

“At my son’s orientation they read top 10 crazy questions asked by parents and one was ‘can I sleep in the dorm with my daughter for the first week?’” wrote @TNizzle621.
