I spend tons of time with my kids. If I need to prepare food or feed my picky daughter, YouTube can be helpful. This kind of shaming doesn’t help and I don’t buy that you can watch your kids 24/7.
Besides, have you ever had a bad day and wanted to finish dinner while your child decided to be a bit bratty? It’s not the best choice to put kids in front of screens and I do it very minimally, but this shaming tactic isn’t helpful
- zaksoup 9y agoI've yet to meet a single person* with kids who actually, unironically, says things like "your just have to spend time with your kids, duh" * The few I have met who say these things have full-time live-in nannies so they're not exactly models of "spending time with their kids" either...
- acct1771 9y agoMy parents worked multiple jobs, still had the time to make selections of titles to give me - or not. This is not a corporation's job. Multiple streaming services have kid sections, downloading actual files that are the ones you want your child to see, etc. Curating content for your children has never been faster or easier, so...how'd our parents do it?
- jamra 9y agoYour parents had youtube? The internet? Have you seen what kind of bait and switch content is on youtube? It can look like a children's show, but turn out to be something really creepy. If you think it's the job of parents to curate content, that's also fine, but youtube should allow for a feature that lets you whitelist content. It sounds like you had lovely parents, though. Congratulations.
