This is clearly an issue but they are compounding issues, not mutually exclusive ones.

If the parents are working the kids will be at childcare or school. The iPad use is when the parents have the children at home or out, it's a choice of the parents not to engage with their kids.

I'm a parent and I have zero issue doing washing, dishes, cooking, cleaning or any of my other housework while my kids "help" or are otherwise engaged, talking, singing etc. It is agonizing sometimes but that's the choice you make when you value your children.
