When anyone is sick then our screentime rules definitely go out the window. The amount of time the TV is on or someone is playing on the phone is embarrassing. I SAHM so if I'm sick (and I have been the past 4 days) then it's all about survival and I don't even feel bad. We will get back on track this week! I remember a lot of screentime when I was pregnant too, I was so tired and had bad MS.

Oh, yeah, sick. Also if we're on a long drive--we had a 4.5 hour trip and we let E play her kindle game nearly the whole trip, aside from eating and nap time.

When we're sick, on a long drive, or if I'm having a really bad day (PPD).

When I'm sick, or if I have a lot of work to do and no babysitter.

Right now, I have a newborn and both DH and DS1 are sick. So yeah. Lots of TV.

Same - If DD is sick and also car rides.

I'm on modified bedrest so I'm using tv much more than I really want to.

Any time my DH is the one in charge. Before I would have answered when I had bad "morning" sickness (aka, 24/7sickness) for LO2, but even then I limited it to two 30 minutes shows right when we got home from work/daycare so I could rest before starting dinner. When DH is totally in charge without me there to enforce screen time rules, I think our toddler is liable to get a few hours a day from apps, nurseries on youtube, and shows on tv.
It's a sore spot for me, because I try so hard to limit screen time.

When we're sick, or at someone's house that we don't feel comfortable asking to turn it off. I figure the limited time she's getting from those times isn't a huge deal. If it's someone we're close to and they're not actually watching something I will ask then to turn it off.
My family thinks I'm nuts btw. My cousin's girlfriend proudly posts on FB about how much her 4mo loves watching tv, and apparently my family thinks that's the norm.

Unfortunately all the time. I'm not anti TV and don't have a problem with my kids watching it but my oldest can easily get sucked into watching it a lot. My husband and I have a difference of opinion on TV watching amounts and sometimes we just want to veg out too so the TV is on a lot! Oh well!
