[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What got me out of your post was you noticed during her off time (while on your family vacation) she was on her phone. What else was she supposed to do. Talk to you? The kids? It was her off time. Who the hell cares what she does when she's not on the clock. [/quote]

OP here. No no, I really don't care what she does on her off time. That wasn't my point. We were together for a couple days and it was scary to see how much she was on her iPhone. Every second that she wasn't having to do something that absolutely required her attention, she was on her phone. She was compulsively checking it. Wherever we were (including the meals I took her out for), she was totally disengaged because she was on her phone. So for example, we're all five sitting at a nice dinner, and the kids and us are chatting about our day, and she sat there the whole time texting and on Facebook.

It was weird and it looked like a compulsion, an addiction. Made me question whetted you can really cut that kind of behavior off during work hours. My point was that it was an observation to be combined with my other information to point me to the perception that there might be an ignoring my kids issue with the person I'm paying to engage my kids.

PP MB here who just wrote that she didn't see 50 texts as being outrageous. THIS I do see as being weird, so I take back my last post... that is just rude. I don't see a problem with texting on and off during the day, but sitting staring at your phone in a social or work setting for lengths of time is not ok... Weird..[/quote]
