iPad parent
Cupertino tech company
An iPad parent is one who routinely hands children a tablet or phone to keep them occupied rather than engaging with them directly.
The term carries judgment—implying laziness or neglect of proper parenting: Every restaurant is full of iPad parents now.
The criticism often comes from those without children or who forget how exhausting childcare can be.
