I am being honest, I feel like I’m missing out on my life / wasting my time because I am on my phone a lot.
Truthfully . I am sure my children often see me just looking at my phone .
My children are 1 and 3. I work full time in a busy role so thankfully I am not on my phone during 9-5 . After work when we are home in the evenings the children have their little shows on for an hour before dinner so I look at my phone . Then I do bath time and i put older one to bed and then breastfeed the smaller one and scroll my phone while I do this For 90 mins. Then when she is asleep I will scroll my phone on sofa and watch tv.
On the weekend , I will often lay on sofa and scroll while the children play . I scroll Mumsnet/ news / clothes / rightmove/ instagram and then search rubbish. I used to read alot .
I used to watch TV but the children watch their shows if it is ever on. Or if I put it on in the evening - im it interrupted as a child is often waking up. I feel like it’s easier to just scroll then even watch tv .
I am sad as I know I am wasting my time and I’m possibly addicted to my phone ? I am probably on it around 4/5 hours a day. It is the first thing I check in the morning . I don’t really post on SM I just seem to be looking up useless info. I think I have been so tired having the children 18 months apart and then going to work I have gotten into lazy habits.
I don’t want my children to grow up and sit and look at a phone ! Ahhhhhh!
We do go to the park and have walks and we have a no phone at dinner rule but the truth is I am on my phone alot and so is DH.
is this too much ? I know it is !
