Okay people.. we were obviously lied to! Raise your hand all of you who WERE told by the media and other "SMART" people that the use of electronic is good for their brain, for their education and developing the horizon.
Yeah.. look at all those geniuses now! There should be AT LEAST ONE EINSTEINE per household now. WHERE ARE THEY??? I am asking! WHERE????

We just need to do what works in every other area. We need to unite! We need to stand together and we need to create unified front.
Because what good is when I try to limit the screen time to 2 hours for my kid when your kid can binge 24.. then my kid comes to me and rubs me with it. |

Well I can tell from the howls during the day when I turn it on by accident that it still works. Sure they can download a movie but screentime nips that. And no neighbors have open wifi |

Real stuff from Twitter:
Ramblin Mama @ramblinma · May 5, 2017 Pediatrician: They're only getting two hours of screen time a day, right? Me: HAHAHAHA! I mean, yes. dph @luckytrout Replying to @ramblinma 3 beers a couple nights per week is the adult version of this lie... Replying to @ramblinma Or is that two hours of SCREAM time? 😎 Mom of Science Microscope @EmSlyce Me: *on the phone with my parents* So mom, what did the doctor say? 2: *from across the room* no more monkeys jumping on the bed! Laura Marie @lmegordon · 8h My friend's kid broke our harmonica. What's the protocol here? Do I email her about it or call her on the phone? I want my gratitude to feel sincere. Snarky Mommy @SnarkyMommy78 · 7h I knew parenting would involve a lot of crying but didn’t realize so much of it would be from me. A Bearer Of Dad NewsFlag of Guyana @HomeWithPeanut · 4h Whenever I gaze upon my sleeping kids, I imagine them growing up to make a difference in the world. Which is incredible since they use bed rails to prevent them from falling on their faces in the middle of the night. Vision Bored @VisionBored1 · 12h my son pranked my husband by changing his beard trimmer from the highest setting to the lowest setting so now my husband has no beard and I have no son Paige Kellerman @PaigeKellerman · Jul 3, 2017 Sure, I could parent without screen time. I could also churn my own butter, but let's not get crazy here. Mommy Needs A Life @mom_needsalife · Mar 21 Parenting is 70% me yelling, 20% asking the kids why they’re yelling, & 10% trying to find where I left my coffee. Ash (an female) ⚪️ @adult_mom · Oct 23, 2015 Me, to all my kids before the age of 2. "No screens allowed." On their 2nd birthday, handing over iPad. "This is your mother now." Lurkin' Mom @LurkAtHomeMom · Oct 25, 2017 School: We're hosting a book fair to encourage more reading/less screen time Me: What book did you pick? 7: Super Mario Skill Book Me: Right Molly England @bluebonetbabies · Apr 20, 2017 My kids made cardboard computers: I'm glad they're so imaginative and equally disturbed that even their creative play involves screen time. Sarcastic Mommy @sarcasticmommy4 Took my son to the eye doctor & was asked “how much screen time do you allow?” Liar level: EXPERT Abe Yospe @Cheeseboy22 · Aug 14, 2018 I am trying to limit my kids' screen time, which is why today we're going to a movie. Sara Says Stop @PetrickSara · Jul 29, 2018 The cat keeps stepping on the surge protector switch and shutting off the television. My cat is better at enforcing screen time limits than I am. Kate Hall @KateWhineHall · Jan 10, 2017 "Well, if you don't, I'll take away your screen time." - my family motto The Dad @thedad · Aug 18, 2018 I'm at my most hypocritical when telling my kids they've had enough screen time Salty Mermaid Entertainment @saltymermaident · Jun 29, 2018 Yeah, I could restrict my kids' screen time, sure, but I just don't want to be the kind of parent who *limits* her children, ya know? Right, yeah, I want them to feel limitless, that's all... MamaFizzles @MamaFizzles · Sep 22, 2016 Are we all done pretending we try to limit screen time? AND THE BEST FOR LAST:
