She gets more on the weekdays, typically because she watches TV when she gets home and up until I turn it off before dinner. Weekends we are on the go so much that she hardly watches any at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469918 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:46:13 +0000 Adira 2469918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. But he only gets about 30 minutes/day during the week, so I think it all evens out, like @looch: said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469904 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:32:05 +0000 looch 2469904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he actually gets more during the week than on the weekends. It all evens out, I think, so I dont worry too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469898 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:27:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 2469898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially on weekend mornings. He and my mom take turns watching videos of trains on youtube or Little Einsteins. I don't feel bad about it, he doesn't really watch it during the week, and is usually playing with trains or cars when it's on (unless he's unusually tired, then they cuddle on the couch). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469887 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:20:28 +0000 Cherrybee 2469887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god, yes! Its a shameful amount. We just have so much to do at weekends - djy, cleaning, laundry, meal planning/prep etc. If we have a lot of errands to run, she even gets the tablet in the car. I wish it wasn't this way, but it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469817 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:28:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2469817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? Def Sat mornings I'll keep the TV on longer than usual, and Sunday afternoons before dinner. </p> <p>Is it bad that I don't think it's bad? I always watch with her and we point out interesting things and things she knows the words to and I encourage her to sing/dance along... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469438 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:45:32 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2469438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he won't get as much once the weather is warmer. It was warm here yesterday and he was out with his dad for 2 hours. When we're inside he asks for tv time and if we're tired or trying to get stuff done it's too easy to give in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469433 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:41:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2469433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had been doing too much and ds has started sleeping really bad. I blame pregnancy exhaustion and a cold! Not sure if screentime is related to his sleep so we are trying to do almost none for the week. He saw 0 screens today! Yesterday though he had a couple shows and a movie night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469431 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:38:46 +0000 Finfan 2469431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's on pretty much all the time at my house. DH likes background noise. I would prefer the radio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469423 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:29:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2469423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Screen time all the time here. I SAH with two and it saves my sanity! It's mainly background noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469411 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:19:41 +0000 FaithFertility 2469411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! :meh: DD has been waking at 5:45/6 and I am in first tri too and soo flipping tired! So I put her in our bed if she won't go back down and she will watch for a few, she honetly isnt into it, only 5-10 min tops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo-get-a-lot-of-screen-time-on-the-weekends#post-2469407 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:10:48 +0000 Applesandbananas 2469407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been really bad about screen time lately. I'm so exhausted all the time being in the first tri, plus a nasty, lingering cold I can't shake, plus DH's man cold 🙄</p> <p>This weekend LO's watched way too much tv. Ugh. I think he's also got some of this cold we're dealing with because he's been really grouchy and has a runny nose. </p> <p>Do your LOs get a lot of screen time on the weekends? </p>
