Who else has given up and letting their kids watch hours of tv?

[Mamabear12]

I have covid, which I caught from them. They are now better and return to school tomorrow. I have no energy. I try my best to keep them busy, but come afternoon, I am like F it, watch tv I need to rest. I am exhausted! It is the worst being sick with kids to deal with. (ages 2, 8, 9)

It’s fine. It’s tv. You’re not letting them play in the road. It’s, what? Netflix? Cartoons? I bet it’s not the saw box set. They’ll be fine and you’ll feel better soon. Don’t stress just get some rest.

Depends on what they're watching

Day one for me and DS (4) we’ve had Ryan’s World and Blippi on all day 😫 I keep going really tired all of a sudden, hope I feel a bit more able to do some school work with him tomorrow

Don’t beat yourself up. A few days of tv won’t harm them. When you are ill and you have young children it’s all about survival!

Whats the problem? Tv wont harm them.

I did this with my toddler when I was ill. What else can you do?

God, give yourself a break!

Mine used to watch loads of tv even when I wasn't sick. They are all now at highly academic private schools and are well-rounded, well-behaved, capable teens. They don't appear to be too scarred by over-consumption of teletubbies and peppa pig!

Yep. 16 days in isolation jyst me and her. We watched a whooooole lot of Bluey.

I would have had no choice, if I was on my own, but to let them watch TV all day as I was too ill to do anything at all.
