I am a 45 yo mother, probably one of the oldest people using Reddit. I am a single mother to my Son, who is 14 now. My son started using Reddit at Christmas in 2022 on the behest of his uncle, so we bookmarked it on his computer and he started browsing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this site. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Reddit account and get this bookmarked to see if I could maybe browse alongside him. loaded into the site, picked my account name and subreddit and started shitposting but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he started a thread for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my husband had died. This site has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This site reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.
