Babysat by phones

[ABonHawks]

I'm sorry
I really can't stand parents that babysit there kids with their phones
Out and about in buggy in a park and your child stuck to your phone or their iPad
Or put having dinner, and you got pepper pig playing non your phone as rest of you eat
Why can't you teach your child to speak to you about what's going on around then ?
Why can't you teach your child to sit nicely while adults eat? Or do some colouring ?
Why has a child under age of 10 been giving a phone ?

I'm sorry but phones tablets not happening in my household till my child goes to high school simple

That's fine, you enjoy talking and playing with your child for minimum 12 hours straight with no let up. It's great, and totally achievable.

Well yes it is achievable, I do what I want to do when she naps and when she awake my full attention on her

Most amazing thing ever being a parent! Teaching my child, playing with my child, talking to my child
Best thing ever
I walk down the road talking to her even when she asleep because she can still hear me and I want her to know she loved

Oh lucky you, you have a good napper. But wait until she’s 3, no longer naps, asks you ‘but why?’ 10 times every minute and attaches herself to your ankle if you dare to try to leave the room for a wee.

Oh OP, well done for completing ten whole months of parenting. Go you!!
I’m cringing for you as you really have no clue what lies ahead. Good luck, you are going to need it.
And thanks for the much needed laugh.

I'm very much looking forward to that stage! Out in the forest running around playing cuddles films more interesting as they get older!! Wooo

Calling it now - troll thread

Just a loving mum what more can I say ?

I guess you have a child who you just know will never have temper tantrums. My child is younger than yours and I have no illusions that it’s not going to be all sweetness and running round fields enjoying nature. You are deluded.

It sweetness if you make it sweetness! And yes I'm sure she will scream and shout and throw her self on floor crying but she needs be able let out her anger or upset somehow and once she done she got a big mummy cuddle coming her way

There are many people who would say your way isn't great either op. Making a child the centre of your absolute universe to the extent that you don't want her to even look at a phone or iPad because she should be talking to you is stifling.

It's called different parenting styles.

Focus on what you want to do and don't judge others.

That's called not being a dick.

Goodness, do you not use your phone for video chat and photos? Mine is ten months and thinks his grandparents live in my phone now. And goes looking for it when it's time for his daily snack with Granda. Also poses like a maniac when his sister gets hers out and then looks at the pictures of himself.

Aw go you! You must be the only mother to want to cuddle their child. I’m sure even those god awful parents that let their children look at screens cuddle them.

Oh, and today he also got so furious that I wouldn't let him eat the clematis that he went purple and passed out. You've clearly got an awfully chill baby. Mine has no middle gears and one of the best things for settling him down is Maru the cat on YouTube. Mary looks like Nana's cat who loves sitting with him, so it makes him happy. What works, works.

Says the woman sat on her phone arguing with complete strangers 😂 Going on a forum to specifically argue with strangers is pretty weird in my opinion. Oh and by the way no one cares what you think lol

OP.

Your parenting choices are yours alone. You sound like your doing a great job, but please, leave other people be.

If you're this judgey in person, I think you're going to have a very lonely parenthood.

Never letting a child play independently is pretty damaging OP. Don't be a helicopter parent. It won't do her any favours in life.

Here have a from someone who is childless and still realises that no screen time until secondary school is totally unrealistic

And people who are genuinely confident and secure in their parenting don't need to tell others how good they are. It's fine to be insecure about your parenting, but I'm sure you're doing fine. Be confident in your choices and don't try to seek approval by criticising others.

I 100% agree with you OP.

As children start school there are so many who can't maintain eye contact, have speech and language delay, poor vocabulary (if any), low concentration and general problems with engaging in groups.

@Mylittlepony374 sorry I can't make sense of your post?
