In this episode of From 9 to Mom, Catie and Danielle tackle one of the most relatable summer struggles for working moms—screentime. As school routines fall apart and summer chaos kicks in, managing kids’ screen use becomes a full-time job in itself. The duo dives into how screentime impacts behavior, how to balance guilt with sanity-saving tech, and why sometimes the iPad really is the third parent. Whether you're battling meltdowns after Minecraft or negotiating Disney+ limits, this episode keeps it real about parenting through pixels and setting summer boundaries that actually stick.
