“I for sure need to break up with my phone. Because once the kids get home from school and it's the time of day when I'm getting a lot of messages, I'll be making dinner and checking my phone and talking to the kids, but that's not the conversation they want to have. I kind of try to do too many things at once, which I am not very good at, so I go through periods when I make a conscious effort once they're home from school to put the phone down and try not to give it too much attention until they go to bed.”
