Today's mothers are ninnies. They are trying to create the "perfect" child.

TV all day at age 10 is very different from TV all day at age 3.

+1. Plus the images of a typical show are much faster than when we were kids. It’s not about the “perfect” child. It’s about not damaging the children I have.

As much as they want, so long as they read for at least 30 minutes/day. But, they spend most of the day playing in our rec room. I don't care how much TV they watch. Neither should anyone else.

TV does not go on before 6pm.

A lot. Not feeling guilty about it. If humanity discovered one thing, just one thing, in the last 1000 years of preparing for pandemics, is that TV is a must.
