- maaku 13y agoNo. I have two little ones at home (2yo and 6 weeks), and no steady employment. Of course I can't afford daycare. My wife and I have off-time measured in the minutes per 24-hour period. I seriously can't remember the last time I got a full nights sleep. But I am more resolved about this matter than before my wife and I had kids. Being a parent is an awesome responsibility. You more than anyone or anything else shape who you kid becomes, and how they develop is determined by what you allow to be brought into their lives. The damage done by passive screentime, especially at such a young age is immense. It alters the personality of your child. It kills creativity and playful inventiveness. Which, by the way, are the core elements to success no matter what you doing in life. These parents are - little by little - doing life-long damage to the psyche of their children for the transitory and selfish reward of a few minutes downtime. That is, as I said before, disgusting.
