But a 30 minute break to get something done is really what I need sometimes! And I tell myself him having a happy, sane Mom is probably the best thing for him... Also that is a great quote!Erin Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356668021914377869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-14016567361897943652012-06-05T18:28:56.657-07:002012-06-05T18:28:56.657-07:00Sometimes I struggle with the same guilt over lett...Sometimes I struggle with the same guilt over letting my son watch DVDs. But on the other hand, without it my life would be so difficult with a newborn too.

The families I watched some allowed none some allowed little viewing. Somedays more somedays less. I will say the kids that never watched tv did not have better parents, to be honest their parents were a lot more high strung and so were those kids. However the kids that watched tv their imaginations worked just as well as the kids that did not watch tv. Whatever works for your family works. It looks like you and your boys are doing just fine.
