Hot take: Maybe balance is impossible and we should stop pretending

Everyone's always like 'balance tech and outdoor play' but realistically? If I make screens totally off-limits my kid sneaks them. If I say yes to everything he becomes a zombie. There's no magical middle ground I've found—it's just constant negotiation and failure. Some days he plays outside for 4 hours. Some days it's screens all weekend because life is chaotic. I think we're all just doing our best and the balance isn't some fixed thing. Anyone else feel like the entire framework of 'balance' is kinda BS?
