My kids get no more than 10m of tablet time a day each. Both of us are working full time. When they ask for more I point them to their toys/books/etc, or play with them.

So, being dual working doesn’t mean you have to allow your kids to have lots of screen time.

At least you acknowledge some screen time unlike the puritans we have in this thread but i also suspect you're not in the most extreme of difficult parenting situations.

  • If you don't give kids a tablet and instead give them a stack of toys, the kids will grumble and eventually start playing with the toys.

    Hell give a bunch of bored kids enough rocks and they'll find a way to build a small village out of said rocks using mud as a connecting material.
