We stick to the 2x30 minutes rule for 90% of the time but we do make occasional exceptions like when they're ill.

Plenty of parents do use screens responsibly. My five year old can watch one episode of whichever series he is watching at the moment after school (currently Hilda, which Netflix really should push harder than some of the crap that gets suggested). In the weekends sometimes we allow for one film instead.

It's not a challenge to keep a limit on screen time at this age.

If all your friends have the same rules as you, then great. If all your friends have no rules at all, you are a tyrant, and your child will be at his friends places as much as possible.
