S3 Ep13: We Gave Our Son Snapchat…and Now We Regret It | The Reality of Teen Screen Time

Sheena Interrupted

About

This week on Sheena Interrupted, it’s just TRID and Jae… and one very honest conversation about Snapchat.

After a month of using the app, we sat down to break down what’s actually happening behind the screen: how much time is being spent, what real communication looks like vs. just “streaks,” and why it’s harder to put the phone down than anyone wants to admit.

This isn’t a lecture, it’s a real back-and-forth between a parent trying to understand and a teenager living it in real time.

We talked:


    What kids are actually doing on Snapchat
    How “streaks” keep you coming back
    Why screen time adds up fast
    The balance between independence and boundaries
    What’s helpful vs. a complete waste of time
    How to be aware (without being addicted)

If you’re a parent, this will make you think.
If you’re a kid, you’ll probably feel seen.

Equal parts honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable…in the best way.
