[quote=Anonymous]This is very common. Most of my friends have this same complaint and so do I. I think it’s a big enough deal to raise/try to address, but with the perspective that it’s not the end of the world. Only you know your husband and the best way to approach it, but I would avoid snapping in the moment (trust me I’ve wanted to throw my husbands phone out the window) and have a conversation later without kids around about how important it is to give kids undivided attention and interaction without devices. So not laying blame or even criticizing him, just raising it as a topic of discussion. There are a bunch of articles on this so you could say something like “I saw an interesting article today…” You get the idea. At the end of the day these ages are simultaneously exhausting yet so repetitive it can be hard to stay engaged. It gets better as they approach 4 and definitely by 5 when they can share in hobbies. That’s when a lot of dads start to shine.[/quote]
