Think about how you feel when you are sick- don't you just want to veg out and lay down on the couch and watchTVin between sleeping? I'm sure toddlers are the same! I hope he feels better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-watching-tv-when-heshe-is-sick#post-2082315 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:29:11 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2082315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Not a bad mom. When my dd1 was so sick she couldn't get off the couch, it was Frozen on repeat and lots of disney jr. Poor things. I figure a few days of tv won't ruin them! I watched so much tv when i was a kid and i consider myself a success :silly: my mom does too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-watching-tv-when-heshe-is-sick#post-2082297 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:18:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2082297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we were home for 6+ days with bronchitis/ear infection/ect. a few weeks ago, she lived in front of the TV. I figured she's sick, it keeps her from running crazy (which caused coughing fits) and seriously it's TV...I watched a TON growing up an I'm a well adjusted adult ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-watching-tv-when-heshe-is-sick#post-2082286 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:15:20 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2082286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure what is up with my DD, but she got hysterical at lunch when she gagged a little on food and flipped out. The only thing that calmed hey down was baby Einstein. She started crying again when I turned it off. :bummed: She's been sleeping for almost 3 hours! I'm afraid I'm going to have to wake her up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-watching-tv-when-heshe-is-sick#post-2082264 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:02:44 +0000 CarrieLouWho 2082264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently in the same boat as you. I figure all I want to do when I'm sick is rest and watch tv, it won't hurt LO either. She doesn't usually watch that much so I'm not worried... Gotta keep them rested and comfortable when they are feeling so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-watching-tv-when-heshe-is-sick#post-2082250 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:53:58 +0000 travellingbee 2082250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is currently on day four of a fever and stomach virus. If he is not watching TV, he is clinging to me and crying. He is two years old. I know it isn't great for him, but I just don't know what else to do. He has no energy for anything else, and neither do I. So he has watched so. Much. TV. Please tell me I am not a terrible mother! </p>
