DH on iphone all the time. driving me nuts

[Anonymous]

DH and I overall have a great, loving relationship. However, he's always on his iphone, and it's driving me nuts. I would actually like to converse in the little time I have with him. When he's supposed to be playing with the baby, often she's playing by herself and he's browsing. I was thinking of getting one myself, but I'm starting to hate the thing so much.

Is it new? I've just had one about 2 weeks and felt like an addict, but now that the newness has worn off a bit, I'm using it FAR less. If it's new, I'd probably wait and see if he doesn't do the same. If not, definitely have a talk with him. He's entitled to some personal time (IMO), but that should be short, not all consuming, and he definitely should be able to interact with the family without the iphone attached to his thumb.

I don't think so. This is just a bad habit, like any other. Ask him to make a commitment to stopping before his daughter is old enough to recognize how little of his attention she's getting.

What is he doing on the phone? Email, chatting, browsing?

OP - I just wanted to say that I could have written exactly this post. Oh - and my DH has had his phone for over a year - and it is exactly the same. He's either checking email, reading the news, watching/keeping up with sports. It is completely obnoxious. I can't even begin to tell you how many fights it has caused. I have one too, and I don't use it 1/4 as much as he does. I know that one day I will go over the edge and run the thing over with my car. I wish I had something better to tell you... sigh.

When it makes you nuts, email him and tell him to put it down..."Hey, put down your phone and play with the baby. Ok-thx."
