I have 2 children, age 3 so in nursery end age 5 so in year 1. 3yo is nursery all day

My aibu is, am I naughty for allowing tv after school? Older one doesn't get homework only to read so we get home at 4 and they tend to watch tv until 6 thrn have dinner and wind down for the evening before bath bed

Sometimes I feel like a terrible parent for not doing much after school but then again I'm pretty sure I did the same just watched tv unless any homework

Weekends I try to do something at least one of the days so last one just gone we went out for soft play so I try to arrange stuff to do weekends and holidays but lots of tv after school

Am I awful? Or do others do the same

I think it’s fine. Our afternoons are similar. Walk home from school after running around with his friends for a bit outside the school. Then sit and have a snack and a chat and then they watch tv til tea time or til football/swimming. Right now they’re watching a bit of Harry Potter but I’ll turn it off at 5 for them to have tea and then go to swimming lessons. Tv doesn’t go back on after dinner. They don’t have any other screens
