[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most are using it as a babysitter. A lot of UMC parents take their kid to dinner and put them in front of a screen instead of hiring a babysitter. I use sitters often and sometimes felt judged but I think it’s better than using a screen. [/quote] Ironically nowadays, a lot of the younger sitters - high school and college aged ones - are addicted to their phones so they just plop the kids down in front of the TV. My kids have pretty much aged out of sitters but back in the day I had to lecture them on staying off their phones and actually, ya know, babysitting. [/quote]
