Well, this makes me feel a liiittle better about being the WORST at returning emails, texts, & phone calls! I guess Im not the only one - in fact its common! - who just cant be a decent human being to my kids and be on my phone at the same time! :-\ Its definitely led to some distance between friendships lately (esp since starting homeschooling), but I can cooooompletely relate to the parents observed here on their phones at dinner time! Ive just had to largely cut myself off around my kids, because I either - at best - ignore them/half-heartedly pay attention and offer the infamous nod with no eye contact, or - at worst - get annoyed with and/or snap at them! :-( Theyre little for SUCH a short time.. we owe them soooo much better than this, guys. :-(
