So Isabelle has a tablet that we let her use sometimes to watch videos or shows on when we need to get work done or if we’re watching something she doesn’t want to watch.
I’m totally okay with letting her have it sometimes, she gets it maybe once or twice a week at our house, but the problem is getting it back from her once I feel she’s been on it too long...she would stay on it all day and night if she could! When it dies or when we try to get it back from her, she FREAKS OUT. She’s been in her room crying for twenty minutes because I told her it was time to put it away (she’d been on it for almost two hours while I did some work). She ended up getting in trouble because when I took it from her, she tried to take my phone to watch videos on instead.
What do I do? Do we just not let her use it anymore? I don’t mind her having it sometimes, she really does learn a lot from the videos she watches, but I don’t want her constantly glued to it and I don’t want a meltdown every time it’s time to put it away. 😪😪

If you’re using YouTube kids, set the timer in there. It might help! It definitely helps my daughter and she knows that it’s time for the iPad to go away when the timer screen pops up.
I didn’t know that was a thing! Maybe that will help. Thank you!
Maybe set an egg timer, so when it goes off she knows times up and not just Mom being mean taking it away.
Can you try explaining to her that if she keeps acting like that when she has to give it back that she won’t get it anymore? Or try a reward exchange. Like if she gives it back with no problems she gets a cookie for snack or something like that
Different kids react to ultimatums and rewards differently. Jacob responds to “if you keep behaving like this it’s going in the garbage” very well. Usually after the 3rd time the reaction is done
I say keep sticking to your limits and tell her when you give it to her that if she throws a fit, she's going to lose the next chance to use it.
ETA Just realized she's two. Will she understand if you explain that to her?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
GENDER POST! ??????
Alright mommas for everyone whose going to be finding out gender sometime in November or later..lets get a post going and keep each other updated. And for everyone who has already found out post below what you thought you were going to have and what you are actually having! ?
This is the exact reason we don't let ours use our phones. It just isn't worth it.
