I have noticed great debates lately about kids and screen time, this mommy war topic really gets me. Maybe because my kids watch TV, movies, and play video games… YUP I let my kids do it all, and sometimes I feel totally and completely judged for it. All of my boys have tablets, and they know how to use the Wii and our TV. Today has been the quietest day in weeks, because I caved and bought pocket minecraft for the boys. Its a lazy beautiful day and I couldn’t be happier. We have rules and guidelines on all electronics, they cant play until their rooms are clean and beds made, no electronics at the table during meals and on school days no electronics until after homework/reading time. I don’t feel guilty at all that my boys would rather play a video game or watch a movie instead of reading or playing outside today. Maybe its because I know that we have days where we spend all day outside? I really don’t know but something about it just doesn’t phase me the way it seems to bother some parents. In fact I play the video games with them, yep I totally put mine craft on my phone so I could play with them, and yesterday we played Mario and watched anime movies and ate popcorn. I love lazy days like these with my kids. Days where I can get house work done and not hear screaming and fighting every time I leave the room. I am a video game playing, movie and TV watching, lazy mama and I am proud!
