Fuck off home then. Why did you bother coming?Kow wrote:It seems kind of arrogant to think if you're with me you must pay complete attention to me

Kow wrote:Personally, I always have my phone out when I'm out with people as well, so I can't really expect my kid to not have any screens around him. If people are looking at a phone when they're out somewhere with you then maybe you're to blame too. Some people I just can't pay attention to continuously. And I don't expect others to do the same either. It seems kind of arrogant to think if you're with me you must pay complete attention to me. I don't see any point in banning devices at the table. In fact, the idea of everybody sitting around the table and just talking to each other is fairly horrible to me. Just let me watch tv with my dinner.
