So DD has just turned 1YO and in laws bought her an iPad for her birthday. They did ask us beforehand if it was ok, I wasn't over the moon about it but didn't want an argument - thought we could just accept the gift and keep it hidden away until she's older. But now every time they see her (weekly) they get it out to play with and I've noticed that she's already started to get attached to it.
I should have just said no thank you to the gift in the first place but now we're stuck with it. AIBU to ask them to stop using it with her after they paid so much for it? Any advice on how to handle this tactfully?
FWIW, ILs adore DD and I think they see interacting with tech as a good way to develop intelligence or something, they are definitely not seeing any negatives with it. I not totally against screen time per se but would prefer her to play with actual toys and worry she will start to favour the iPad instead. Help?!
