But when we're with our kid, because it is a weird thing to be like, no.
No iPad, no social media, no technology.
And then we're just like completely addicted to our phones.

And also, who wouldn't benefit from like a couple hours a day where you're like, you know what?
I'm going to dedicate these hours to not being on my phone.
You know, it's like, can you imagine anyone who's like, yeah, this has been really bad for me?
I mean, actually maybe some 20 year olds would be, I mean, I talked to this like girl in her twenties recently.
I worked with her and she was like, I go, have you ever like been away from your phone?
She's like, yeah, well I was abroad and I lost it for, um, for about eight hours.
And it was, it was re it was a very stressful period for me.
So, so I guess my big battle, I didn't buy my kid an iPad.
So she doesn't really know about that.
And I've never really emphasized screen time that much, but you know, the problem with screen time is like, Hey, I need a break.
So, you know, I try to put on TV for her and that just feels a little better than her being in control of like changing a screen and having her synapses like moving around so fast.
And with him, you know, it's like, is there any way you can like not be on the phone?
And so we've got a rule that we're not on the phone for dinner.
And I think that's really helpful because I have friends who have teenagers and they'll send me videos and I'll just look and I'm like, wait, your kids are just like staring at their phones during dinner.
