"Disconnected Dad: The Impact of Phone Addiction on Parent-Child Relationships"

A woman expresses concern over her husband's excessive phone use while caring for their young children, feeling that he is not fully present and engaged. She struggles to explain the importance of prioritizing their kids over screens. The columnist suggests finding a compromise, such as listening to music or podcasts instead of scrolling on the phone. Both parents should have designated "free time" away from childcare duties and prioritize quality time together without distractions. In another letter, a person working as a summer camp counselor expresses conflicting feelings about being in love with someone from work while having a boyfriend. The columnist advises being honest and respectful if considering ending the current relationship to explore the new one.
