Every parent is required to say they only allow very limited screen time even if secretly they all allow quite a bit more.

Lol, kind of true!
We stick to the 2x30 minutes rule for 90% of the time but we do make occasional exceptions like when they're ill.
Might change when they get older though.
Or we are ill!
Haha, can confirm!
Well, the nice thing about having borders is that you can allow those borders to disappear every now and then. Feels like something special for the kid!
Plenty of parents do use screens responsibly. My five year old can watch one episode of whichever series he is watching at the moment after school (currently Hilda, which Netflix really should push harder than some of the crap that gets suggested). In the weekends sometimes we allow for one film instead.
It's not a challenge to keep a limit on screen time at this age.

Good for you.
It is, however, a challenge for us.
If all your friends have the same rules as you, then great. If all your friends have no rules at all, you are a tyrant, and your child will be at his friends places as much as possible.
