SIXTYNINEDUDES!

I've had 4 and they are older now so I didn't have smart phones/ social media to scroll but I do know that "sticking them in the jumparoo in front of the telly" is the calling card of every mother whose reached the point of wanting to scratch your eyes out with boredom.Why does the 3 month old get so much screen time? It just seems so unnecessary when at that age she’d be as happy watching Siobhan potter around or looking at a book or toy. For someone who tries to present herself as evidence-based there’s a bit of a disconnect as I’m pretty sure that all the advice is that screen time is negative at that age. Yeah I know it’s a bit mumsnetty, but also just consistent with her behaviour.
Having small babies is rewarding, blah blah blah, but the days are incredibly long and incredibly boring. When I see her baby stuck in front of the TV like that I don't judge Shivvers (we've all done it) but I do have a little chuckle to myself because you can't flex your way out of such obvious painful boredom and loneliness.
