Should I get mum guilt over this

Bit of screen time? We’re away and it’s the bad weather day. Cloudy windy so no pool. We’re in an all inclusive not near attractions (closest is an hour drive and we have a 5 month old who screams in the car so decided against this)

so we’ve done the whole hotel all the playground arcade the kids room and it’s 2pm so a few hours until tea time

is it ok to give my 2.5 year old a few episodes of Bluey just for some downtime as he’s probably not going to nap etc

i feel so guilty. About screentime but we’re. A bit limited today on activity

Why would you feel guilty? It’s a bit of kids TV not heroin!

It's fine. Really not something to get so worked up about. It's a couple of hours of chilling watching tv. What harm is it that you think this will cause?

Good lord yes it’s okay. A few Episodes of bluey isn’t gonna kill anyone .

I'd quite like an opportunity to watch Bluey myself

I’ve always been so scared of screentime I’m not sure why?

ive just seen so many things how bad it is how you should be screen free etc but since our youngest was born (who’s very high needs of course) I’ve introduced some just to help me balance both kids etc

Of course it’s ok! Love Bluey. Throw in a few episodes of number blocks and that’s education covered, too 😁

It's fine, it's TV not heroin.
You are doing your best, your child will be totally unaffected and may even benefit from the downtime.
