Thank you for saying this. I used to judge parents of kids on screens until I had my own. You never know what’s going on and there’s a chance that the 30 minutes of quiet that family is getting from the iPad is the only peace they’ve had all day.
Yes, parenting existed before iPads. That doesn’t imply that everything they used to do to cope with similar situations was correct, or better. Previous generations of parents used to do things that would terrify us now.

Or it’s the only meal they’ve had out in a month and it coincided with a sleep regression or something.
I have friends without kids tell me how they would parent and what they don’t think is “good parenting” all the time. They have no clue…
