parenting question

[flea]

Allowing your 5 year old to watch 2+ hours of TV after she gets home from all-day activities that involve new people and/or physical extertion: allowing a necessary brain- and body- rest, mindless vegging of the sort that many adults enjoy, or allowing child to get away with murder while justifying my own laziness about not making her do other stuff?

When Ellie goes t school all day, I have no problem letting her watch TV when we get home for a bit and while I'm getting Frisco to sleep it probably works out to 1.5-2 hours a day. I think having time to unwind is normal.
