“She’s too addicted to the iPad”
Omg. If there is something I cannot stand its people saying anything to me about how much tv and how much screen time my 3 year old has. Recently my overbearing mother who critizes quite a bit of my parenting said that my daughter is too addicted to her iPad and tv and movies. #1 my daughter has a playroom where she spends tons of time it has a tv with only a DVD player for movies-usually if she’s in there there is a movie on not because she sits and watches it but for background noise. She has an amazing imagination I can always hear her pretending with her barbies. She plays outside, she’s incredibly smart and she doesn’t throw fits when I take these things away. Also why the fuck do I need to justify shit to anyone! It’s my kid!!!! If she’s addicted it’s my problem not anyone else’s!!
I feel like older generations don’t grasp that technology is king now. If I can give my daughter an iPad and have 30 min to shower and think I’m going to do it. Why in the hell would I not do that! I mean they give kids laptops in school now! Technology is not the devil.. I still hug and love on my daughter I read to her every single night without fail after she does her mandatory 15 min of reading alone. We sing we race we play I’m sorry but as much as I sit on my phone some days there’s no way I can justify being a tech Nazi. It made me so mad when my mom said that because I specifically remembered sitting in front of the tv as a kid quite a bit-same shit if you ask me.
Anyone else with a overbearing you do everything wrong mom? Who definitely was not the mom of the year to be saying shit?
