And the reason I make this point is that our technology, so I had a cupboard in my back hallway when Grace was growing up and I would literally walk in the door and I would take my tote bag with my laptop and I would put it in the cupboard.
It literally was, you know, it was put away.
And I did that because I really think that if you bring your work laptop into the house, put it on the kitchen table, put it on the kitchen counter, you know, it's there.
Even if it's closed, it's talking to you.
It is literally drawing you in.
And I feel the same thing even with our mobile phones, obviously.
And these days, the challenges are mobile phones are almost like the remote controls for our home.
So it's a much harder thing to put them in a cupboard.
But I did also have a charging station inside a cupboard.
So that when I came in for those couple hours with Grace, I put it in the cupboard, you know, and I thought, you know what, if someone needs to reach me, I'll look at it at eight, you know.
Because I really believe, so strongly believe that our children deserve for us to be present when we're with them.
And that's the technology in our lives pulls our attention away from them.
And they don't deserve that.
They don't deserve to have to share the attention that we're trying to give them with a piece of technology.
And it's interesting because I am proud to say, and I look back and this really took a lot of willpower, but in Grace's growing up, up until she was 15 years old, she never saw my works off top.
Yeah.
Because I would pull it out after she was asleep.
And so I really believe that I didn't want, because I already worked a ton, Shelley.
So, I mean, there was a lot of working going on.
So I didn't want the few hours that I had with Grace to be associated with her seeing me and my work laptop together.
