    Yeah but if your kids are young they see you every day, so… it’s different if you don’t see each other often.

    And my example was more meant for people who argue that they are fine with kids drawing when you’re out for food (which most younger kids do), but are annoyed when they use a phone to play.

      Drawing can be more of group thing and can turn into conversation. Like asking them about what they’re drawing etc.

      Being on the phone is a more of a personal experience and has less opportunities for conversation and whatnot

        That’s a subjective thing I would say. Many people on here would agree that playing a game can also turn into a conversation. If my kids were to play Pokemon or Zelda for example, I could engage with it quite well. It just depends if you know the franchise/culture, making it easier to resonate with.

        And tbh I didn’t particularly enjoy my family looking at my drawings when I was younger, cause I didn’t wanna get a comment about it.
