[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I hear you all that you think no screen time is "draconian" and "extreme" etc.  Completely beside the point, although I think whether it is draconian is possibly debatable.

The point is I had a rule for my children, which I expected to be followed and made clear to all.  AP decided to do for himself, during his work time, the thing I asked them not to do and then allowed the kids to do along with him.  He can watch all the soccer matches he likes in his free time.  Again, not the point.  I expect the AP to follow the rules I set.  As I also said, this particular rule ultimately makes child care [i]easier [/i]for the AP--at least how things go in my household.  Another little fact--AP asked the 12 year-old to find the channel for the match and put it on for him, even though the child told him they were not supposed to watch.  It was on the large tv in the family room.  He wasn't watching on his phone or something.

Maybe I am over-reacting --that's partly what I was coming here to gauge.  I still don't see this as no big deal, though.   [/quote]
