[quote=Anonymous]Good for you. My MIL offered to read to my 4 year old over FaceTime last spring to “help” occupy him while I worked. But it involved me finding the books she wants to read (she bought copies of books we have for her own house), then answering, setting it up so the child balances the book and the device, then she would tell me to go away and work, but all I would hear is “are you listening?” “Stop playing with the effects.” “Turn the camera to the book” “I can only see the ceiling.” Then she would call DH and tell him that the 4 year old wasn’t cooperative and I needed to monitor it better so he would pay attention to her. Thanks, but I can put the kid in front of a screen he’ll actually watch if I need 15 minutes to work rather than spending 30+ trying to convince him to participate in this scenario.[/quote]
