AIBU to let my 2-year-old watch TV?

Obviously I know a little bit of TV is ok... but how much TV is reasonable? Currently my almost 2yo is watching a total of 2-3 hours a day... it seems too much but we are stuck inside most of the day, don't see anyone else, and I'm pregnant. Finding this lockdown really tough.

In between this we are playing, doing art, going outside for walks etc etc. And obviously that 2-3 hours isn't all at once. It's little bits here and there so I can phone a friend, do some housework and other things to keep me sane.

AIBU?

My 2 year old watches 2 hours of TV most days and we feel like we're doing quite well to keep it down to that under current circumstances...

As far as I can tell from my parents' attitude to children and TV and my own memories I was half-raised by the television and it doesn't seem to have done me any obvious harm.

We are in a fucking lockdown!

Do whatever keeps you sane and don't spend an ounce of guilt.
