‘I was mum-shamed by six-year-old neighbour horrified at my kids playing Xbox’

A mum was shocked when she got shamed by her six-year-old neighbour about house rules.

Sarah, from Florida in US, said the exchange left her questioning all of her life choices and she's now asking for advice from other parents online.

She shared the details on TikTok after her next door neighbours came over to play with her sons during quarantine.

"I just got mum-shamed by my six-year-old neighbour," the mum-of-four said.

"He and his brother came to see if my boys could social-distance play, and they discover my boys were playing on the Xbox.

"To which the six-year-old just asked if they just wake up and ask if they could play.

"And the older brother said 'no I think they just wake up and play'."

The young boy then gave his "advice" to Sarah, who was left stunned.

She continued: "The six-year-old said that 'well you should do every third day for electronics' and I said they have a screen time on it.

"He said 'is it more than 45 minutes'.

"Is it more than 45 minutes? Yes, yes it is. I thought there was judgement-free zone during quarantine."

Parents, however, told Sarah not to worry too much as they shared their house rules in the comments.

A mum joked: "I have a strict screen time of 75 hours per day for my kids."

"You gotta do whatever gets you through it. No mum shame!" another wrote.

One was surprised by her young neighbour's comment, saying: "At six years old I don't even think I knew what 45 minutes meant."

Others were also shocked and agreed that a kid's screen time "is a parent's work time".

But some said they always give at least an hour of outdoor activity for their children to keep them away from electronics.
