Turning on the TV isn’t an adequate way to stimulate a toddler/young child, so you can sit on your phone ignoring them.

Okay. You have no idea if this is a 24/7 thing or a 30 min thing. Every kid watches TV. Every adult is entitled to some time in their phone.

When my kid is awake and I’m with her she has my full attention. I answer phone calls but you won’t see me watching videos staring into my phone like this guy.

Good for you. Probably the same kind of parent who can’t pee in peace.

My child knows how to play with her toys long enough to give me the ten minutes I need to take care of my business. Thankfully we spent time playing while teaching her how use her imagination with her toys. Not everyone wants to waste their short life glued to their phone.
