Same goes with sugar options; they consume way more than others when exposed to it outside their house. This was me with cable tv when I was young. My parents refused to get cable and barely let me watch any tv, so instead all I wanted to do at other peoples houses was watch cable tv. OP, I think you need to lighten up a little. Balance is key.

OP here. We also don’t allow much tv and they don’t have regular access to tablets. We believe screens and tv just aren’t good for them.

OP here. My mom also let us watch ridiculous amounts of tv and we all had access to the internet at a young age. I think it’s sort of lazy parenting and young kids shouldn’t be given those devices.

I hope you're planning to home school because as soon as the kids hit kindergarten those devices are in their hands at school. But it's so adorable all these rules and "I nevers" you're planning for you 3 and 4 yr olds. I remember people like you when mine were a little younger. They are no longer like that because real life happened.

OP here. No. They will be going to a private catholic school.

I’m fine with devices at school but not really at home. We limit tv to 30-60 minutes a day . We prefer to interact with our kids instead of stick them in front of the tv so we can get our devices or ignore them. I feel it’s just lazy parenting.

Lol okay wait. That’s really not a particularly impressive or notable limit - an hour a day is a LOT at their age. I now think you posted fishing for compliments bc you’re insecure about your parenting

OP here. That’s the limit. Most days they never watch tv. We will do a family movie bight or show on the weekends but that’s about it. Maybe once a week they watch a little tv after dinner. Most days we are playing with them when we get home, do dinner, and then bath and just hanging out and reading books before bed.

This is what most people do with kids that age. What’s special about this?

OP here. Most people I know with kids these ages all have kids who watch tv all day or have devices they’re on for periods throughout the day. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t let their kids not watch tv everyday like I do.

You know a bunch of losers. Maybe expend your social circle? Because this isn't the norm everywhere. It's the people you know, that's it.

OP here. I’m talking about the ones on social media and the people I see all over the city in the parks. All their kids are glued to devices.

So you have no social circle, friends or family? Do you even have 2 kids? This all sounds like an elaborate fantasy. And babysitting your niece and nephew doesn't mean you have any experience raising kids.

OP here. I do but my family and friends are not lazy people and actually parent, unlike many others I see.

I didn’t babysit, I helped raised them. I was their primary caregiver from birth until they were middle school aged.

This started with "most people I know with kids these ages all have kids who watch tv all day" (direct quote) and now your family and friends are not lazy and actually parent? Your family isn't lazy and actually parents, but your brother and SIL didn't see their kids for 7 years because they outsourced raising them to a teenager, and simultaneously forced her to feed them junky food?

First rule of trolling: Get your story straight!

The OP of this thread is also the OP of this thread:

So maybe the eating disorder will be caused by breastfeeding.
