We're having to stay with family unexpectedly for a few months due to housing problems.
I have a three year old boy. He seldom watches television. Maybe every few days he'll see something. I don't watch much myself, don't particularly want to be pestered for it and think there's better things for a three year old to be doing. I don't forbid it tho, and can see the good and benefit occasionally. And if he comes to stay with family normally ( for babysitting or childcare) then I keep my views to myself and let family look after himas they see fit.
But it's difficult now we're living here and are here everyday. Family just keep putting the telly on constantly for three year old. Or if it's off they suggest it. And ds is starting to ask for it ( never has done before) and they say "no your mummy won't let me". They are telly addicts themselves and see nothing wrong with it.
Aaagh. Don't want it to be an issue, lovely people who are being very kind. But equally don't want telly on all day everyday or made to be the badguy. What do I do?
