I know it's an addiction. I feel like my kids are playing next to me and I'm sitting nearby, on my phone.


That’s what your kids should be doing, right?!?! Self-directed play! I honestly don’t see the problem here.

I do this, AND (VERY IMPORTANT!) my husband has the password! I tried to use screen time limits that I set myself, but I would always override them. This way, I have a set number of apps and internet time and I can't do anything about it until he gets home.

OMG. I hope you’re not one of those stay at home moms that brags about how much better off your kids are when they are home with you.

I'm not sure how this works. Is there a different password for the limit override? What do you do to unlock your phone without your husband?
