Hi Anonymouspanda!

Your post is very interesting. As you said, there are some benefits to it. Being away from your daughter at her very young age, you have the peace of mind that she is okay. Even she must feel secure knowing she can reach you at any time.

Plus there isn’t a more efficient babysitter than a device! All parents, even if they don’t admit it give their kids devices just for the sound of silence!

At my home, the rule is no electronics during the weekdays. My kids do whine about it. Yes, they always complain about this kid and that kid has a phone. The heart wants what the heart can’t get! I just let them keep whining!

At the end of the day, this is your kid, you are the one taking care of her and know what works for you.

Thanks for your honest post!
