I'm a woman. It's not a gender thing. I don't like the baby/toddler stage and sometimes it helps to tune out a bit.

I do try to be conscious of it though and not constantly be on my airpods/scrolling something.

No, it doesn't. I saw many fathers at parks do the same thing.. on their phone.  One kid was outside the park, near the street next to their car, wanting to go home, while the dad was in the park on a bench talking on his phone. He was clueless that his kid left the park. I could tell the kid was unhappy.  Since the kid was near the street, I walked him to his dad, who didn't even acknowledge me or his kid. Didn't stop talking on the phone or look up. zilch.

I felt so sorry for the kid.  I was with my DH and our kids.

I also see this in restaurants - dad on his phone. Kids just sitting there.

I'll say it again: most men should not have kids.[/quote]
