Is it wrong?

Opinons please.  Everynight from 7:30-8:15 or 8:30 DD watches cartoon and then we brush her teeth, read a book, say a prayer and she goes to bed.  Anyway while she watches her cartoons I usually sit on the couch next to her and play on my laptop.  Is it selfish to use this 45 minutes- 1 hour to myself? If she wanted to stop and play I would, she just likes her cartoons before bed.  Should I stop doing this?

  • No, I think it's fine.
  • Yea, not seeing the problem, she doesn't need constant attention.

  • I used to have questions about things of this nature as well. 

    Remember the saying "When Mom's happy - everyone's happy"?

    If she's asking for attention and you're ignoring her, that's another thing. If she's chilling with her 'toons, let it go mama.

    Enjoy!

  • Take the time. During the school year, DD and I do the same thing when we get home.  She watches a show, I either get dinner started, or if I have time, I sit down and relax for awhile before starting dinner.  She enjoys that wind down time, and I do, too.  You're not hurting her.
  • If DD is sitting quietly and occupied, you bet your sweet asss I'm going to use that time. But, my kid doesn't sit longer than 2 mins.
  • A leapfrog movie taught my 2 yo the alphabet. She gets more screen time than I initially planned on giving to my future children. Don't feel bad!
  • Really? I think you are fine. Moms need veg out time too.
