Screen time... Dsc and ds

[Spanglyprincess1]

I really don't like zombie style screen time eg glued to tablets all weekend and never have.
Dp doesn't care and let's his older 3 kids, my dsc, have screens all the time they are hear and I mean ALL the time. I don't approve and don't want my ds, who is under 2, to have this kind of access.
I've often tried to talk to dp about it but he doesn't agree at all and massively approves of them having unrestricted access.
I don't want different rules for the kids in the same house (Dsc here 40%).
I would like a compromise eg no tablets before school and a limit for 4 hours on sat and Sundays or school hols per day. Then encourage board games, playing football etc etc or reading or whatever.
Am I out of touch or is unlimited access normal?

How old are they?

8,9 12 for Dsc

I’d say unlimited access was fairly relaxed/lazy! I restrict because I find it affects mood and I’d rather they were playing.

Yes I 100% agree

I think your rules are entirely reasonable. Having screen time continuously all the time isn’t healthy.

I don't want different rules for the kids in the same house

You can’t have the same rules with those age differences.

I mean regarding what's OK. Yes it's OK now but it won't be in a couple of years.
I also don't want dp thinking it's OK for our son to have unlimited screen time.
It's not good for them as it's unbalanced in my view

Ds1 is older than your eldest sdc and he’s used to similar rules from young so it’s just the norm now.

You’re on a hiding to nothing OP. He has no interest in restricting screen time. If you do you’ll be the baddie.

I know but what else do I do? It really bothers me and I don't want it for ds.
Only other alternative is say to ds that they are older so he isn't allowed until he is much older n hope he forgets!
