TTM about tablets for kids - is 3 too young for a tablet? I’m tired of watching YouTube kids on our TV. Do most ppl get kindle fires? Other options? I want to be able to control the content he watches/plays.

tgrimes how are things at home? No flooding near your house I hope. The streets were flooded but the bayous stayed in their banks, thankfully. School is closed tomorrow. Work isn’t though so my in laws volunteered to watch the kids. It’s not raining at the moment and there’s only a 40-60% chance tomorrow throughout the day. I guess the superintendent cancelled school because HISD was trending in twitter with pics of kids walking home in flood water. Not a good look.

I want to be able to control the content he watches/plays. We gave C an old tablet when he was 3ish. It had limited capabilities (mostly just used for a few games). C did really well with it and it was the basis for us agreeing to buy him the Nintendo Switch last Christmas. We also let them use YouTube on the laptop at the kitchen table while I'm cooking or cleaning and can hear/see it.

I want to be able to control the content he watches/plays. Both of my kids have iPads 🤷♀️. Let me be clear though, I’ve bever bought them one. B had one because my grandma was getting rid of it and asked if I would want it so I took it. Then J came along and they started fighting over the one iPad so my mom had an extra she won at work that she never used and let me have that. They came in handy for our 7 hour road trip last year so I was extremely thankful for them. B knows how to download apps but I always check to make sure they are kid friendly. And they both only have YouTube kids on them and not regular YouTube . I actually have a bunch of educational apps downloaded on them that the speech therapist recommended so i don’t mind when they use them. If they are playing games it’s those at least.

cookswithwine H has a mini ipad that he uses. He only watches youtube kids or Peppa on the Nickjr app. I bought both kids kindles on prime day. M has had one for a few years but you can't use the youtube apps on it. So she has to go to the internet and use youtube that way. She doesn't like it. Mainly, the kindle is for our digital movies. I bought the sandisk thing for extra storage and downloaded a bunch of our movies for road trips and plane rides.

UnitedHealthcare denied my 2nd appeal. Fuckers. The letter they sent me doesn't even make sense. It says, "We understand the second appeal to state that nnn." WTF is nnn?

Oh, and J is sick. Because one kid per week must have a fever. He was home with me yesterday, too, but today his fever is a little higher and he is losing his voice. Poor dude.

Ugh send coffee... D is going thru a leap and sleep has been terrible. I take back everything I said about him being a good sleeper! When we finally got him to sleep at midnight, H went to check on O and he had thrown up all over himself and the bed. He didn’t even cry! Then D woke up at 120 and was awake screaming until after 3a.

Just once I would like to experience sleep so deep I could barf on myself and not notice. Without the barfing, obviously. Just the level of sleep.
Even drugged out of my gourd I'm restless. When I had my endoscopy they said I was kicking all around to the point they considered strapping me down.

Rough day at work today. One of my kids was goofing around and jumped off something. She landed wrong and managed to fracture multiple bones in her foot and her tibia (?) pushed though her ankle. She was in so much pain she had to go to the hospital via ambulance because she couldn't get up even with help. They did a temporary reset of her ankle while I was with her, and she'll have surgery in the next day or so (they're keeping her in hospital until then for pain control and so she doesn't move and do more damage. I felt so bad leaving her when my coworker arrived for shift change.

My goodness danib, that poor girl. I hope her surgery goes well and that her recovery is as smooth as possible. And don't feel guilty that you had to leave at shift change.
