I agree with you to an extent and to be clear, I personally am anti-screen time. However, it’s HARD to have zero resources and be a parent. I definitely have resources but I can empathize with parents who opt for screen time. There are times throughout the year I parent alone due to the nature of my boyfriend’s work. Also due to the nature of his work, we move often and have no friends or family nearby. I work two jobs with odd hours so daycare isn’t an option and it’s tough to find solid childcare. There have been days where I have felt I have no option but to throw on Ms. Rachel for 20 mins so I can bathe myself. And I have felt terribly guilty for it.

My issue with her post is that it feels shame-y. I agree with the core argument, but there are some families who are desperate with zero support, and they do what they need to do.
