Two year old TV in the daytime

I haven't posted this before and try pretend it isn't happening as much as it is but I think I need help.

I try my best. Today we were up at 7, we have dug in the garden, coloured in a big Amazon box with crayons and pens but already Peppa pig is on and she will probably stay on most the day.

AIBU to be letting my son watch TV for hours a day?

I honestly don't know what to do and would love any advice. I run a playgroup once a week and he does another playgroup 2 days a week but the rest of the time I find it so hard.

I work evenings, am unable to use my legs properly at the moment and don't have a car so can't do anything too energetic or far away.

I have a huge craft section but he is only ever entertained for 15-20 mins at a time and I don't have enough activities to keep him entertained for a whole day in 20 minute increments?

Tell me either I'm not being unreasonable and it's okay or give me advice on how to fix it!

My son was 2when my daughter was born he watched loads of tv. Did him no harm. I love tv and have it on all the time. It's not work of devil. In my experience kids just play while it on. As long as you doing playgroup and going out when you can that's enough.
