I felt equal ...This post really resonates with me. I felt equal parts fascinated and creeped out when my 47 year old coworker recently told me that she spends her nights when she can't sleep texting her 20 year old daughter who stills lives in the house with her. (This is done while lying in bed with her sleeping husband). I wondered why they, both device and media-obsessed individuals, would choose to do that with their time when I don't even bring my phone into the bedroom with me, and then I remembered that Mom is the one sitting in meetings with her phone under the table, texting or checking social media. So why wouldn't she have passed that same obsession onto her daughter? <br /><br />I love the idea of parents posing as media mentors for their children, but imo some parents are completely clueless and almost boderline incompetent to raise their children in our current culture. Let me broadly say - if we can't self-regulate in this and many other instances, what kind of model are we being for the generation who is looking to us for guidance? Yeah, it's very concerning to me, some of the adults I see. Sad and scary that they're posing as role models for anyone.greenappleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376074982922465139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741562596277318024.post-49227385281141096892016-10-25T18:10:13.450-07:002016-10-25T18:10:13.450-07:00YES!

I have been on both sides of that group situation--the one with the phone pretty much avoiding conversation and the one without the phone watching everyone else avoid it. It's all a mess, isn't it?
