[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being home all day with a child, especially very young, is exhausting in a very different way than being at work. You literally feel like you can’t have a thought in your own head or a moment in space and time all to yourself. It’s great in some respects, but incredibly isolating and mind numbing in others, especially with so many things being closed or limited during COVID. A phone is a super easy, portable escape to a world where you’re not wiping noses and butts, and making endless snacks, wiping up the same mess you just cleaned up, etc.

She may not realize how addicted to it she is, but it’s a cumulative effect of her current state of mind. If you can, encourage her to completely disengage form the house at least once a day - get out for a walk alone, or something like that. [/quote]

This is most likely what is going on. It's why many women work, including women who don't financially need to work.

OP - you should encourage her to get a job.  Being on your phone this much isn't healthy.  Your child is already six.

Your wife will have every excuse as to why she can't return to work.  Especially now.  It's going to be very scary for her and she is likely anxious.  Keep pushing her to try it.  If not, another five years will pass and she will still be on her phone this much and will not have returned to work.  [/quote]
