When My youngest boy was not yet in school he watch TV about 5 hours or more a day. 4 of them were in a single sitting. Where we were living at the time we could get 3 hours worth of Sesame Street and one hour of Mr Roger’s in a 4 hour block. During the time he watched those shows I did the housework and the laundry. 
The year before he entered kindergarten he knew his Shapes could count to ten in 2 languages and he knew his colors plus many other useful things. Sesame Street and Mr Rogers taught not only the basics of education but also things like empathy and thinking of others. I tried to reinforce his learning especially that which I agreed with. 
I did my best to raise my boys in a similar manner to how I remember being raised with discipline and fairness. I sometimes feel that I likely made mistakes I suspect most parents do. I do think they turned out okay as people though and I know they know that I love them dearly. 
Some people post that you should be a parent not a friend to your children and I shake my head that they think you can’t be both. I was quite close to my parents and I love my mom dearly enough to make an international call from time to time. When I was in school I considered her my Best friend in many ways. That didn’t mean my parents let us get away with murder it just meant that we were able to feel comfortable discussing things with them. 
Be Blessed as your journey through Parenthood and life continues onward.
