  But I have to say - even though I occasionally DO let LO watch TV (Usually when I am on a super time crunch and have to do something but his usual toys aren't doing the trick), I feel super guilty about it. 

  See, right there is an example, I felt like I had to justify letting him watch TV... for myself, not even anyone reading.  

   

  I never feel good about it, but try not to beat myself up, either.  So, I guess I can't argue too hard with you, @mrsmountainmama. I get where you are coming from.

  It was just an unfortunate choice of words. There are many things that parents can do to be criticized as being lazy and irresponsible, I just don't see TV as being one of them. Ironically enough, I think that most parents take advantage of that time to do other things that need to get done that could take attention away from their LO.

  I think y'all are probably right...which is why I said I couldn't quite put my finger on my thoughts about it.

  Lol, I've done that before. No worries here.

  M, my 4 year old, has taken the lessons of Daniel Tiger a little too seriously. If we go grocery shopping and use a basket, not a cart, and I deign to hold it on my own, she crosses her arms, stomps, and sings quite angrily, "Ima! Friends help each other yes they do it's true!!!!"

  One day when C was about two years old, he pulled out his letter magnets and started putting them on the fridge, naming each one and pairing it with it's lowercase/uppercase counterpart.
  
  I didn't teach him that.  Sesame Street FTW.

  I've been absent for awhile as well, but happy to drop in and see that "cruel", "lazy" and "irresponsible" parenting is being called out.
  
  Of course keep in mind cruel, lazy and/or irresponsible mamas, that no one here is

  It makes me really ridiculously happy that a FFFC went past like 7 posts! Woo!
  Maybe that should be my FFFC. I'm way too happy about a post actually surviving here.

  My mom, who is a school psychologist, will call me to tell her how to turn the cable on. She thinks it is better for language development to have the tv on in the background. Otherwise it is just her alone talking to dd when she babysits.
  
  I don't think dd can make it long enough through any tv show to make me feel guilty about being irresponsible.
  
  

  
  

  Being with my LO rocks! DD born 6/13/14.

  I've been a long time lurker since the 8 week mark of June 14. I just got up the nerve to intro myself a week or two ago roughly. I am glad I logged in today. I never said much of anything because someone else usually said it better. I needed a bit of this sarcasm today to help lift me up. Just remember People say dumb things or don't choose their words wisely. We are all moms proving the struggle is real. Whichever method we decide is best for our families.
  Here is my Flame Free Confession. I am actually pretty terrified to admit my confession. Once I do it becomes real. I'm pretty sure I will be signing up for August 15 board. I don't need to pee on a stick to understand what my body is telling me. I'm terrified to pee on that damn stick...I have a baby that sleep is not in the cards for. He doesn't nap really or sleep at night. My husband is loosing his patience. Someone asked if we would have another and he said something along the lines of being committed.
  Sooooo the struggle is real inside my little head. My Birth Control was not prepared for this swimmer or egg to prove to be a UFC fighter refusing to be taken down. I need to take a deep breath and pee on that stick. However I feel like a scared kid. Not the step mom to a cool 9 year old boy, and the mom to my sweet boy that has the best smile. I'm like a kid terrified I'm going to be grounded...
