On this note, I find it interesting that Robyn is so far up her own ass with "holistic wellness" woo, but she not only allows Atlas to have screen time, she lets him watch fucking Blippi, which even I, a miserable childless witch, know to be utter trash. Is the ~*~electromagnetic frequency~*~ from an iPad somehow exempt from the pseudoscientific bullshit that underpins Robyn's entire belief system? That's very convenient. Can't get a prenatal ultrasound, can't vaccinate the children, can't feed the dog nutritionally appropriate food, can't drink pasteurized milk, but the iPad has good juju.
Toddlers don't need screen time. I don't want to make anyone here feel bad, because I'm really only here to judge Globyn and I recognize that some screen time in early childhood is probably unavoidable in most situations. I get that being hands-on with a very young child 24 hours per day every day is mentally and physically demanding. Nobody should be expected to be "on" all the time, and if television or the iPad can give an exhausted parent half an hour to take a shower or eat a sandwich or scream into the void, so be it. Do what ya gotta do. In a household with a profoundly disabled child like Luna, screen time is probably a lifesaver, and they can't really latch the proverbial barn door now that Atlas knows about it. If they must let him watch, though, why not something with nominal educational value? Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger, even old episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood would at least give plausible deniability to Robyn's claim to being so deeply invested in the well-being of her family.
It's definitely not the first example of Robyn's hypocrisy we've seen, though. Remember all the In-N-Out we've spotted in the background of her Instagram photos and stories?
