[quote=Anonymous][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.

As a SAHM with two very young children, I appreciate PP writing this! I do literally feel like I can't have my own thoughts. The phone is an escape.

I would also recommend giving her a block of time to herself: "I'll watch the kids so you can go for a walk," etc. [/quote]

+2 here. Give her a break and don’t tell her what to do with that time. If she wants to spend that time on her phone, let her. I use my phone as an effort to reclaim the smallest bit of time for myself. Usually after I have a few uninterrupted minutes, I’m done with my phone. Sometimes it literally takes hours of attempts to get ten minutes alone on my phone. Small kids are relentless. [/quote]
