Pls share if I'm the only one, or you have the same issues.
Is it right or wrong ??

Thanks for sharing

I am on way too much especially since I got my iPhone a few months ago.

My kids, my dh get less of me - not necessarily my attention but taking care of things like cleaning, cooking...

Sometimes as Iā€™m responding to a post and the kids need me I have to stop myself and remember that my amazing response that Iā€™m in the middle of typing is not so important after all....

For sure I get much less accomplished every day because Iā€™m always on here so much

It is very addictive. Especially if you might be sad this gives you adrenaline.
I think it's normal at 1st to be glued. At beginning I suffered a few sleepless nights.
Good luck to fight the yetza hara its very strong !!

You asked if we thought it was right or wrong. I personally think that when you are with family, get off the computer or your phone. This is my motto. When I am home, with my child or having dinner or even after that when it is me and my huband and we are trying to have "us" time, we put thephones away.

These smart phones (and computers to some degree too - im on our laptop right now) are both very good and extremely bad.

OP, I would make every effort to try and not be on the phone while you are with your children. I know that my child realizes and it makes her very sad and even angry when we are supposed to be together and one of us adults are on our phone. Try to not be on it when engaged in something else and only be on it when you have down time, without your loved ones. I really think it is best for shalom bayit all around.

Yes. In all honesty it bothers my DH very much. So if I suddenly "disappear" from here you'll know why.
He even put an app on my phone that monitors the amount of time I spend online and it's is seriously embarrassing to read the daily report.
I did make friends IRL from this site and he encouraged those friendships but hates that I always have my eyes on my phone.
I just need the will to stop.
