Dear Queenie,
My son’s wife is constantly busy doing something on her cell phone when she is visiting us. The last time her children got into a fight and she didn’t even notice and I had to calm them down.
When I spoke to her about it later she told my son I was being rude.
Queenie, was she right?—Angry mother-in-law
Dear Mother-in-law,
No!
Cell phone use, especially the Internet, can be addictive, but that is not excuse for neglecting one’s children.
