Huh?
Is this a thing?

Is absolutely a thing. I didn’t watch a single show on my mat leaves, didn’t want the babes staring at the screens. Besides I quickly learned I never had the time anyway.

Turn the baby in a direction that prevents them from watching the screen. You don't actually mind your baby hearing things do you?

I did. I'm not a woo-woo parent at all, but their little brains are sponges and their ears work as well as their eyes. TV is a a very heavy, very intense aural stimulus.
I watched TV, but on mute and read subtitles.

Oh girl, this must be your first child. I had a whole list of shows and movies I was going to watch on my mat leave. Guess how many I watched.

I did finally get through one during an evening after I went back to work (6+ months later.) pride and prejudice. 2004 version
