My baby has fallen victim to North Korean propaganda!

[sunnyinthevalley]

I left my 17 month old baby at my mother's home when I went to a afternoon party with DH, and left DD17mo with my tablet, opened on the youtube app.

I come home, and some strange music is playing, and DD is clapping along happily and swaying a bit, and my mother is smiling, swaying along + cooking a casserole.

I peer at what's playing on the tablet, and it's this:

My current guess is that it appeared as a recommended video and DD tapped it (she's good with these things - even laptops!)

DM was singing 'key shown oon' along (she's not really in touch with current affairs/news, had no idea this was a dictator, and thought it was some sort of ad DD had looped.)

Then I was scrolling the BBC on my laptop, with DD beside me, and she sees Kim, and starts smiling and giggling.

I'm not sure if I should be irritated or amused

I may just be stupid but what are balonz?

I think I'm some sort of moron or very out of the loop LOL

Maybe it was wind?

Could of been I guess.

But then again it's far funnier if it's not

Ummm. Ok then.

sorry i can't help it

Maybe she felt alone

And for a fairly long time too

Yep.

My thought too. 😞

It's not really that different then leaving her infront of the telly is it.

And I only do it when I leave her alone with DM, so maybe every 3-4 weeks.

You leave a baby in front of the television?

Not much that’s less funny than North Korea.

This has made me laugh so much, particularly the thought of mum singing along! People getting judgy, calm down!

My current guess is that it appeared as a recommended video and DD tapped it (she's good with these things - even laptops!)

Well it sounds as if she does this more than every 3 or 4 weeks. And then she is watching as you scroll BBC.
You can get defensive all you like, but mindlessly watching telly, laptops, tablets is good for nobody but especially babies.

So do all my friends, and so did all our mothers!

You can't expect me to be a perfect mummy always carrying around DD or finding infinite toddler activities for the kiddo.

It's not possible.

People getting judgy, calm down!
Why should people not judge? It's not good for the baby.

I came here to share a laugh and not get judged by perfect mums

Alright, alright. Maybe it's a small scottish town thing, but I've never seen anyone fuss around this sort of thing to such an extreme before!

I came here to have some fun and not to be vilified.

I'm not claiming to be perfect. But it's your child. So laugh away.

North Korean propaganda is catchy, I'll give it that.

Um because it's not a thread about parenting or indeed any of your business
