To get annoyed at my in laws for letting my 1yr old & 2yr old watch too much tv?

Recently moved closer to my husbands family. My boys spend time with them on a fairly reg

If your il’s are prime choice because of shift work then presumably you or their father will have time to make up for the tv (mornings/afternoons/extra days because of longer days) and be able to count the time spent at the il’s as their ‘downtime’.

I really wouldn’t be overly concerned about the tv tbh and would just plan to offer more of the activities I think they should be doing in my time with them.

My children are teenagers now and I was a sahm. I had CBeebies on a lot when they were that age. Is there a playgroup near you that you could get the older one registered with that your mum could take them to? The little one will just ignore the tv largely anyway and the older one will be in an Early years setting which will help with them getting ready for school.

I'd agree with the suggestion to bring/ have more toys there.on the way tell the 2 yo what they could do show their grandparents while there so at least that has to take them away from the tv for a while. Hand the 1 yo a toy as youre leaving, although i agree there will be a certain amount of just put up with it required:(
