This may come off as a rant but I'm annoyed by how infantilizing everything in the world is today.

Story time. My wife and I had another child a few months ago. When we take our daughter to her checkups the receptionist hands us this tablet and we have to answer a bunch of questions before we can even go back. It proceeds to ask us questions like:

Do you have any guns in the house? (None of your fucking business)

If so, how are they stored? (Again, none of your fucking business)

Name three things you love about your child (Why am I having to answer open response questions?)

What makes this organization think they have the right to ask me these invasive questions? It feels like everything is this way now. Every company or organization treats you with this infantilizing tone like they have to guide you through life.

I don't remember it being this way when I was younger. Has anyone else noticed this shift?
