All this “have a spine” BS is probably from people who either have no kids or are not pulling their weight as parents. Easy to make proclamations. 

🫡 people who are disciplined about screen time and put in the work to fill the void. But 🖕people who pass judgment and the leave their wives to pick up the slack. 

Btw, dad here with 50% equity stake in my child’s development. My kid is perfectly reasonable. Healthy attachment to TV. When it’s time to turn it off, it goes off without protest. And it’s 100% worth whatever brain rot you think is happening. I get shit done around the house while my kid learns about Mozart and Monet and math and shit from the shows he watches. And then we turn it off and go touch grass. I see no problem with that.
