Mom realizes that cartoons are turned off and can’t cope with what’s on the baby’s screen

A new mother was traveling in the car with her baby when she realized the tablet had suddenly gone silent – ​​and her son had gone rogue.

Dental assistant Rachel, from Indiana, is the proud mother of four-month-old Winston. As she said Newsweekhe’s now at the age where he’s “fighting his naps.”

The family recently took a drive, with Rachel in the front passenger seat and her father, Winston’s grandfather, next to the baby in the backseat.

After you put on Mickey Mouse cartoons to help Winston calm down for the trip when he wasn’t interested in his toys, it seemed to work until they realized that Winston had somehow turned off the show. But he wasn’t crying…he was shopping.

In a video to Rachel’s TikTok account @rachelmarie_105 on October 20, which has more than 54,000 likes, she wrote: “When Mickey Mouse stops playing but the baby doesn’t cry. Turns out he’s shopping for a new Dell computer.”

The clip from Rachel’s front seat shows Winston using his feet to swipe through a website. If you zoom in, you’ll see that he’s considering buying a computer monitor since his random kicks had brought him to the page.

Rachel told me Newsweek that when Mickey Mouse stopped playing, she assumed “the tablet was dead because it’s such an old tablet and the batteries aren’t in very good condition.”

“I turned around and (Winston) was about to make a purchase!”

She clarified that her payment information wasn’t stored on the tablet, so Winston, who turns five months old on November 6, wouldn’t have been able to afford the monitor, but “he was definitely looking for it.”

TikTok users were in hot water, with one commenter joking: “At least he’s looking at the budget friendly one, very respectfully!”

“My baby was composing an email when his show went silent,” another parent commented about the relatable moment, as another said, “I’m just in awe of how coordinated his little feet are. My feet could never do that!”

Others were, as Rachel put it, ‘quick to judge’ and complained that a baby shouldn’t have access to a tablet. But as she pointed out, he just watched cartoons to help him fall asleep after they forgot the sound machine at home.

“I don’t regret it because I know I’m a good mom, a tough, dedicated breastfeeding mom, and a little Mickey Mouse here and there isn’t so bad,” she said.

According to KidsHealth.org, babies as young as 5 months old can see several feet in front of them and can concentrate much better on certain objects. They learn to enjoy complex patterns and color variations and can tell the difference between different colors, making brightly colored cartoons attractive.

‘In the end, it doesn’t matter how you raise your child; there will always be someone who disagrees with you,” Rachel added.

‘As long as you know your baby is there well cared forThat’s all that matters.”
