if you genuinely excuse ipad parenting by saying 'people have to work long hours and are tired when they get home so its not their fault' id like to direct your gaze to the entire human history worth of single parents, poor parents, parents working strenuous jobs, etc, who existed before ipads

#like sorry but genuinely? do you think overwork is a modern invention?#you know what my parents did when they were tired and still had a me and my brother to entertain? pencil and paper.#sink with soapy water and some cups. cereal boxes and glue. upside down pots and wooden spoon #my moms standby answer to 'im bored' was 'go dig with a stick' and i WOULD #im not saying we never got like. tv time but it was really rare i wont lie and they were particular about #what we could watch/what channels theyd pay for cable so it was still educational or smth not just colourful shapes or w/e cocomelon is #sorry. ipad parenting is so insane to me how are you justifying it by saying ipads are cheaper than childcare (true) when crayons are too
