I even tried to not get on my phone unless it was nap or bedtime. We are the worst at putting her to bed then playing on our phones until we go to bed. pathetic! This year I am vowing to cut that time down some.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627542745273914271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-72493826354884761142014-01-06T20:50:14.963-05:002014-01-06T20:50:14.963-05:00I use my phone as an alarm so I bring it to bed bu...I use my phone as an alarm so I bring it to bed but probably would anyways. It is my only phone and I live alone so I want it close in case of emergency. But like you I go to bed looking at it and wake up and grab it while "waking up" for a bit in bed! I love it and hate it all at once.

Our start time right now is 8pm but we plan to move this up as time goes on. We need to unplug.Vanessa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391784820168511594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-4920559219445384302014-01-06T14:14:57.204-05:002014-01-06T14:14:57.204-05:00Must admit, we have this problem.

Actually, my and my hubby had many fights in the past and even separated because of overuse of technology (cell phone mostly), and trust issues that came along with it. We have gotten better, but often times out to eat we are on our phones, at night we are on our phones. Its sad!! I know we need to work on it, but I need to start with myself first.

I'm trying to be better lately. Last night I left my phone in the kitchen instead of bringing it downstairs to watch tv with hubby. Our friend came to stay with us and he was on his phone the whole time. It was weird. I've been really close to deleting twitter lately.

I was REALLY struck by this when visiting a friend this weekend. I've grown up with her and her family. She was home from grad school, her younger sister was home from college and we were visiting and catching up. After a while though, I was interacting with Boomer, and then I looked around the room. Every. Single. Person. In the room was attached to a screen. A tablet, a phone, the TV. It was sad, we hadn't seen each other in months, but we were all vegged out.Whitney Alison https://www.blogger.com/profile/02153898249785757592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-83898820961745457252014-01-06T10:41:40.227-05:002014-01-06T10:41:40.227-05:00We made a new year resolution to stop the social m...We made a new year resolution to stop the social media and most technology at 7PM every night. 5 days in and we are doing really well.
