When couples disagree about what presence means in parenting

My partner and I keep having the same fight about screen time but what we're really fighting about is that I think being present means no phones and they think being present means being relaxed and available, even with a phone nearby. Our kids are picking up on the tension and I don't know how to bridge this gap.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering they have fundamentally different definitions of what it means to be truly present with children.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Time and parenting — what it means to be there?”
