You can always tell who either doesn't have kids or doesn't take care of them full time.

My kid: - draws - paints - reads (finished the Harry Potter series for the 3rd time and is discussing hidden gems with me) - records stories and issues then as a podcast - plays keyboard - tablet is limited to 1 hr a day and they are mostly chatting with friends

All this is a result of me saying "that sounds like your problem" when they came up to me with the classic "I'm bored".

A little entertainment now and then isn't a bad thing. Unless it's on YouTube Kids without supervision.

Hell yeah breeder fam. My line is "dealing with boredom is a skill to develop, go lift kid" which I'm sure they don't understand precisely but definitely get the gist of.
