Throw his phone out of the window😂like in ZNMD
I'm currently reading "The Anxious Generation" - eye opening for any parent about how phones and social media are harming our kids. And the biggest indicator of kid / teen phone use is what they see their parents doing.
We are guilty of what you're describing, but now we are trying a new rule where we put our phones in our room when we get home from work, so we are fully with our kids. Small steps in the right direction I hope.
FWIW he's not the only one, we're all guilty of this, but hopefully we can be better...
My wife is just like you're husband. I have told her repeatedly that when we are in the same room together, such as watching a few TV shows before hitting the sack, that I don't care if she isn't fixated on me, but just don't keep your head down glued to that damn phone. The other Saturday the kids were at their grandparents and we were watching TV after dinner. I cooked dinner. I really doubt she realized what she was eating because the phone was lying next to the plate. I told her to find the show she wanted to watch. I came back into the living room, completely naked, and sat in my recliner. About 15 minutes later I asked her to hand me the remote. When she did, she saw what she had missed. I told her I hoped I wouldn't have to resort to such drastic actions to get her attention when the kdis were home, but not to be surprised if I did. She said she would "do better," and she has. Not completely, but it's hard going cold turkey.
We have the same problem in our house. I had to say that after 7:00 we are no longer on phones in this house because we are spending time together as a family. We might scroll for a minute in bed but from like 7-10 no phones.
