Am i tripping?
I get being present with a baby/toddler can be alot but.its also fun. Why does everyone just put tvs/tablets/and phones to kids instead of actually engaging with them!? That's what babysitting is. I'm not judging moms, which choose to do so. I'm complaining about those who do it to children knowing the parents preferences.

I engage with my daughter but I also use tv/tablets. I think it’s about having a balance. Sometimes I need me time, sometimes I need to bathe or cook or clean and I need her preoccupied so I can do it quickly.
It’s about balance. I engage with my 3 year old, we play with her kitchen set and with her babies & have tea parties in her tent, but then she also enjoys having the tv on, although she carries on playing while it’s on, so it’s more for background noise 😅 but this also does help for when we have other responsibilities alongside caring for our children x

Idk I don't know any parents who don't play with their kids at ALL. But I'm sure they're out there. Screen time is a spectrum and unless you're living with another parent 24/7 it's kinda hard to gauge how much they play with their kids
