[quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM and I'm on my phone at these things, too. As long as my kid is happy and playing, I deserve a break. What am I supposed to do - stare at her while she plays? If she brings me a book or a toy, then I absolutely put my phone down and engage with her. And I'm looking up from my phone every 2 seconds anyway to make sure she's behaving, and if she takes a toy from someone etc I get up and tell her she needs to share. But if everything is going fine, then I'm gonna enjoy my downtime. Honestly, I think it's healthy for kids to be independent, and if I had a nanny, I would ask her to let my child play independently or with other kids as much as possible, instead of "engaging" with her constantly.
