Fair point. He prolly does do a lot.
It just honestly hurts me to watch a daddy ignoring his kids, phone or no phone.

Every time I put my phone down that little fricker picks up his ipad.
Nah Lil’ Baw. FAH-Q. I’ll be in charge of who ignores who here. Lol

We have a deal that when we go out as a family, phones stay at home or in the car.

After a decent day at work today, I'm now heading to the store to pick up Taco seasoning before picking up the child at his daycare, driving home, playing in the yard for a while, he's on a watercolor painting kick right now, set up in garage, then making his dinner, making me and mommy's dinner, feeding him, cleaning up, getting him ready for bed because mommy isn't getting home until about 8, and I will probably be fricking around on my phone here and there over the next couple of hours too, because I'm a shitty father.
I might also drink alcohol in the presence of the child..

Agreed, babies don't keep, and it's always important to remember... but you're judging another parent from one tiny glimpse into their life.
But it makes him feel good about himself and that's all that matters.

we did that for a while, then me and my wife decided to leave the kids in the car and take our phones.

No. It makes me feel shitty to see it.

don't confuse shitty with jealousy and resentment demons that you are battling.

I always tell people at other tables to put their phone down when I enter restaurant.

It's a good move, promotes good etiquette. A lot of times people will try to act like they don't appreciate it or be a tough guy, but deep down they're grateful.

I agree, and I'm guilty as shite about it. Sometimes at a restaurant I look around and my wife, both kids, and myself are all on the phone. Society is addicted to phones like crack.
A few weeks ago I was watching football with three other friends and all of a sudden I noticed we were all on our phones, checking scores to other games, doing other BS.. Four people in the same room, watching a game.. And each one of us had our attention on our phones. I brought attention to it and it was funny at the time, but when you think about it... It's actually kind of sad.

Watched a youngish woman at a yogurt store (could have been a babysitter) with two 8-10 year olds- she never looked up from her phone or said a word. The kids sat quietly and ate the yogurt. Made me sad.

Nope. Raised two great sons by myself.
Don't confuse your being a pussy with my being a man.

Me too. I've been trying to just put mine up in the closet on the weekend. It takes long enough to go get it to realize that most of the shite I'm going get it for is bullshite anyway. They'll always be another iPhone or td thread. My kids won't be 5 and 2 forever.
