[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I don't mind if she looks at her phone occasionally, texts etc. when my toddler naps, which is a good 2-3 hours a day. Or when she's preparing a meal or tidying up while my kids play together and aren't paying attention to her. She either has her phone in her hand or right next to her when she's with my kids and when the screen lights up with a text, she looks at it. I don't like my kids seeing how tethered she is to her phone, call me old-fashioned, but I don't think it sets a good example. I'm not bothered that she's not paying attention to my kids 100% of the time; I wouldn't mind if she read a book while one or both kids play independently, and I actually told her to let my older child read/play on own while she does dishes or whatever, that it's not her job to keep my older DC entertained. I guess I'm more of a luddite than the average parent? My older DC also doesn't play any video games and I know is in the minority.[/quote]
