At breakfast today the family on the next table consisted of Mum, Dad and two little boys . One was very small, about 2 and the other maybe 5. Father went and got the food, mother put a mini Ipad in front of each child, cut up their sausages and left them watching their cartoons. My hubby said “I have seen everything now.â€
My niece is the same though, she puts her two kids in their car seats and puts these mini Ipads on the seats in front. It seems that kids have to be constantly amused these days. I dont think it does any good though because they both have the attention span of gnats. They come to mine and they want TV on, I tell them if they dont sit and watch it goes straight off. A minute later they want their Ipads or electronic games on, then they want to go in the garden, then they want to go in the summerhouse .... they literally just cannot sit still for a minute. When theyve gone I go and tidy up my summerhouse as they move all the chairs, turn all the knobs on the radio and CD player and throw all the cushions around.
