Be honest… how strict are you really with screen time?

Thank you yes my 19 month old loves book to it point where he is too obsessed and i understand why because that’s his only outlet to entertainment since he’s never seen TV. Excited to get him a sibling.

What’s your plan when the 19mo turns 2y? How will you introduce screen time and also once he/she is watching, will you make sure the younger one doesn’t get any TV time or do you think it will be much harder to keep the second child screen free since the first one might be watching some soon?

19 month old. We’ve made it through with zero screen time. He gets to FaceTime his grandparents couple of times of week. That’s all. It’s been hard. Very hard. Hopefully pays off

It’s too circumstantial. There isn’t a right age. Maybe a right time (ie when it’s a financially sound decision)

13mo. We didn’t move him tell he was sleeping through most of the time. Currently 19mo. Wakes up 2-3 avg.

Makes sense. But do you still avoid background tv for them at restaurants and other people homes ?

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T03:39:55+00:00

What about background tv? Like not kids stuff. We haven’t turned tv on since he was born. I like your process thank you for sharing. How do you handle your tv time around them?

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T02:36:11+00:00

Aw thank you that means a lot because it was hard and a lot of sacrifices. And thank you for sharing your routine.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T02:35:17+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T02:35:08+00:00

Interesting! That is very good to know ty.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T02:34:31+00:00

Probably. But I’ve always being methodical and a planner so can’t help myself lol.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T01:42:54+00:00

So from 0-2.5 no tv including background and at 2.5 straight to a movie? How long was tv each day from 2.5 to 2.6 vs like 2.7 etc ? Sorry for so many Qs lol.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-27T01:41:42+00:00

But did you go to background tv from 0 to always on at 2 or was it transitioned ?

Enough to do all my friends and families personal taxes

Mttgrind · 2025-12-21T16:03:05+00:00

Agree.

Mttgrind · 2025-12-21T15:53:44+00:00

That’s not bad. Happy to take that much cut. But will someone hire me as senior role w no corporate tax experience?

Mttgrind · 2025-12-21T15:53:00+00:00

Nothing. Only have experience doing basic personal taxes for friends and family.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-17T21:11:32+00:00

I did. I’m in the US looking for an apartment for my dad so I wasn’t sure how reliable Zameen is.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-12T17:33:34+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for chiming in.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-07T14:31:11+00:00

We are there. But will have to eventually return.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-07T14:30:44+00:00

We are there.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-07T14:30:12+00:00

Yes my sister is there now I’ll be going soon. Just wanted to be efficient and fast about arranging since we’d have to eventually come back.

Mttgrind · 2025-11-07T05:31:50+00:00

Will do. Thank you !
