When family screen-free time becomes a battle about rules and exceptions

Our family agreed to have one day a week with no screens but my teenager keeps pointing out how hypocritical it is when my husband and I check our phones 'just for work' and now the whole thing feels like a power struggle instead of the intentional slower pace we wanted to create together.

More people experience this than they realize.
