[quote=Anonymous]My cousins were 4, 6, 8 and 12 years older than me and my year-younger brother (so we had a much more challenging gap than some are describing), and they played with us nonstop during holiday family visits. Our only downtime would be a movie on cable and they’d go off with their big kid friends in the evenings when we had an earlier bedtime. I was so disappointed when my brother had kids and they are always on their parents’ phones. These kids are 5 and 7 and can’t even play with toys with their same-age cousins for 10 minutes before they whine for their parents’ phones. It’s gross. Summer visits are the worst- they won’t play outside even if we make it fun, and keep sneaking indoors to slide phones and iPads out of their parents’ bags. I love my cousins all these years later, but my kids barely have a relationship with theirs because of screens.[/quote]
