When parents struggle with their own screen habits while setting limits

My teenager and I get into the same fight about screen time limits but I realize I'm on my phone just as much as they are and they've started pointing out my hypocrisy. We're both struggling with attention and impulse control but I don't know how to admit I need help with this too without undermining my role as a parent.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people of different generations discover they share the same difficulty with digital self-regulation but cannot admit their mutual struggle.
