Do you and your partner do anything other than use computers all day?
I work with four 26" screens, and am fairly well glued to my phone when I'm not sitting in front of my work PC.
But I also: run / walk / walk with my dogs; train my dogs; go to the gym; do pole dance / pole fitness classes; am learning to play guitar; am a metal fabricator by trade; ski; rock climb; play kayak polo; garden; cook; (slowly) renovating the house; read / research / write.
I started rock climbing when I was 33, started pole classes when I was 34! I learned to ski last year when I was 36!
Obviously I don't do all of these things all of the time.
Perhaps there are things you can do with your kids other than sit at home staring at a screen?
Also, I think perhaps maybe vlogging would be a cool thing to do with your kids. Public or not, maybe just to friends and family, but I reckon it'd be cool to help kids learn how to record and edit video.
- ASalazarMX 8y agoOh, my. Are you sure you're not addicted to doing things?
- photojosh 8y agoCould be, but that list doesn't seem too excessive to me. Normally addiction is defined as doing something to the point where it causes harm. What's being sacrificed to have the time to do all those things? If it's relationships, that's bad, if it is time that would otherwise be spent on watching TV or refreshing a social media feed, then it's good.
