- aidenn0 4y agoOne of the best things my wife and I did was have a "no phones at the table" rule for ourselves long before our kids were of an age to have a phone. It's made enforcing that rule on our teenagers a complete non-issue now.

What's interesting is the defensiveness people express when they are are called up on a social behaviour which would be completely unacceptable and weird a few years ago.
