I'm not raising tablet kids.

My kids play outside. Call me crazy. They get like an hour or two of TV a night. They attend sports, nature club, the zoo, parks, we live in the woods so they have a huge playset. (Literally made from rachet straps with swings and things attached between trees. Take the tablets away. I had some for my kids and quickly realized it was a no for me.

Yeah same with our son, we have 5 plus parks within 0.5 mile where we live and an absolute HUGE field (farm thing in the UK) only down the road.

Problem is we want to be in front of our phones undisturbed. Of course the kid(s) feeling lonely wanna spend time with YOU! Instead we give them tablets so now we both want entertainment undisturbed. Speaking from experience giving up phone is difficult but those kids? They need us to listen to their distractions.

@Sazzio I only spend time on my phone when my kids are at school actively playing outside or at night after bedtime
