At least turn notifications off so you can spend time with your kids distraction free and it's not a total lose-lose for all involved. > Well, I guess you're getting a feeling of self-righteousness in front of your kids... I appreciate the parenting advice and the free psychoanalysis, but what you may not know is that I have special settings for "known contacts" that ring differently. Depending on what I'm doing, I also usually check within a few minutes to see what it was, so it's not like I'm just sending all the stuff to /dev/null

  not at all, when my phone is ringing (if it isn't on silent as usual) then one of my kids will come running excitedly telling me about it or even bringing the phone to me. not looking at it then means rejecting their effort to help me. it's like someone (not me, for sure) has told them that answering a phone right away is important. (but wait, i get annoyed if i call them (without a phone) and they don't respond, and i'll probably get annoyed if they ignore my phone calls in the future, so there is that) btw: your tone is off.
