To be mad at DH for sticking DD infront of TV for 2 hours

[Wingingthis]

2 solid hours of peppa pig. I was raging! DD is 2 and he gets limited 1:1 time with her due to work

Did he give a reason for doing it? I mean it's not ideal but as a one off its not the end of the world.

Does he do this often or just a one off?

I remember my DS had unlimited screen time one day at that age as I had food poisoning. Needs must!

Meh, meh meh meh meh, meh meh meh meh meh, meh.

Non issue to be honest.

Raging. Seriously.

I'm with Newsheet.

You were raging over that.
You sound really hard to live with.

Yeh also meh. Tv pretty much raised me im sure.

Yeah, unless there's some back story here, like he did it so he could go fuck some other woman in your bed, then to be raging seems like an astronomical overreaction.

Is she your pfb by any chance?

Did her eyes fall out? If so, LTB.

Yep. You're being unreasonable.
Peppa pig is awesome.
Not quite as good as the days of Charlie and Lola but still...

I'd be annoyed OP. If he only gets a small amount of time with her I'd be upset for her that he doesn't want to engage with her when he is with her. It's also bloody lazy. Extenuating circumstances excepted (illness etc as described by PPs). No two year old needs two solid hours of TV and Peppa pig is a God awful programme.

Good grief 🙄

Drama Llama.

I’d more be pissed off at the fact it was peps pig.

Stupid, know-it-all little bollocks.

My kids had to watch 2 hours of TV while I did some Exam remarks for the exam board- they are priority marking (must be completed within 24 hours) they were fine.

Apparently I was a controlling and criticising bastard because I suggested it was poor that my wife let our 2 year old watch unrestricted / unlimited YouTube rather than do something interactive with him. (wasn't a one off).

Back story is hugely important. But it's not going to affect her life, and if it's a one off is it worth the argument.

My daughter has been stuck infront of the tv or tablet for the entire summer holidays because I've had so much uni work to do. It's not going to kill her.

Guess it depends why he doesnt have much 1:1 time with her and why he did it and if he does it often

If hes been away with work and jet lagged but normally plays with her I'd be understanding

If he doeant see her as hes always busy with a hobby and just wanted to watch his hobby on tv and keep her quiet then I'd be upset

With you op. Mine are much much older and never had two hours solid of TV. Bad lazy parenting.

Only 2 hours? Did your leccy meter run out?

Zzzzzzzz12345

You kids have never watched a two hour movie?

Wow. That’s pretty brutal parenting

Can people just chill out about toddlers or kids watching tv. It’s not Eastenders, it’s Peppa Pig, and I bet she was a lot more positively stimulated by that than 2 hours solid attention from your DH

Going against everyone else here - I think 2 hours is a really long time at that age. I am surprised she sat down to watch it though. It might have been better to take her out or do something different in the house with her.

Getting enraged about this type of thing is disproportionate and will shorten your life.

best part of my life as a child in front of the tv.had the best parents ever.i dont get what peoples issue is with the tv.they arent an evil monster i nthe corner.we had a constant tv background.but my parents did everything they needed to with us too.its about balance
so if its about him not spending time with the baby then yes.if its about the tv being watched for two hours then NO.

My 2yo comes out with some quote intelligent sounding stuff that she definitely picks up from the TV she watches; TV these days is far more educational than it ever was when we were children. We're a background TV family whenever we're in the house - she doesn't have the attention span to actually sit and watch it, but it's on pretty much 10 hours if we have an "at home" day.
