How to handle screen time guideline exceptions in families

My family implemented screen-free dinner based on research about family connection, but my partner keeps checking work messages during meals saying their job is different from what the studies assume. Our kids are noticing the inconsistency and I don't know if I'm being rigid about research that doesn't fit our reality.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Work demands are creating exceptions to research-based screen time rules that undermine family consistency.
