[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hate people who can’t put their GD phones away around their kids. Just enjoy the playground, douchebag. [/quote]

You know, some of us have spouses who are in the military and absolutely love seeing videos or pictures of their kids at the playground.  I'm sorry you can't have any empathy for someone who may be recording a moment on a phone.  Scrolling through the internet instead of watching your child behave badly at the park and filming your kid are not the same thing, so chill out a bit.  Also, you have no idea what the person scrolling the internet is doing.  Perhaps they're trying to find a mental health professional to help them or researching chemo options for their parents.  [b]Seriously, the level of anger you have at people you don't know is not healthy[/b].  Try taking a deep breath next time and acknowledging that you have no idea why someone is doing something that you wouldn't do and remembering that it doesn't affect you and perhaps they're going through something.  Just try it.[/quote]

pot, meet kettle.  lol.  i'm sure all of these parents taking nonstop pictures of their kids on the playground, interrupting their kid's play,  are doing it so their military spouse won't forget what their child looks like.  most common reason for sure. [/quote]

I don't have a deployed spouse and I do this all the time. I love photographing my kids. I love especially more than anything video of them at younger ages. To recapture their smiles and laughs and language skills at different ages. To revisit them in time. Because they change so enormously and so quickly. I play with them a lot but I am also frequently pulling out my phone to snap a quick video or picture.

Of all the things wrong in the world I've never understood people's issue with this. I AM being present. I am enjoying my time with them. I just take a few moments here and there to capture the moment for my walls and for my late night reminiscing on their lives. A parent loving their kids and wanting to remember their every phase seems like a pretty lame thing to turn into a scrooge about honestly. [/quote]
