[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh- and my kids never, ever have tablets or phones at the table. To me that is the height of rudeness.[/quote] +1 I don't consider a kid with an iPad at the table to be well-behaved.[/quote] Exactly. Sharing a meal is about sharing conversation - not watching some zombie kid on a device. The art of conversation is learned, just like anything else.[/quote] I am a mom of twin boys whose husband travels a lot for work and I work full time. There are days when I pick them up from aftercare and take them out to dinner, let them have their iPads. I need/deserve to unwind with a glass of wine to enjoy the quiet in my head. This helps me recover from my day and recharge to be 100% focused on them for bed time prep. When you see us or similarly situated parents, please be mindful that we're all trying to do the best we can based on our situation. [/quote]
