Was at dinner with my partner's family. His sister acquiesced to his niece when she demanded her phone 5 seconds after finishing her meal, and said nothing while the girl sat there watching loud videos. Nothing about 'hey we're in a restaurant' or anything about being polite and making conversation. She's 13. Has no concept of boredom or how to act around adults. Because there's zero requirement to.
