I didn’t realize how addicted to the iPads the girls have become. They literally don’t know what to do with themselves without it and will do almost anything for a fix. Withdrawal is real – when I cut them off, they immediately started fighting – truly hurtful things were said. I did at least set this boundary today: no one gets any extra iPad time at all while I’m working. All accrued time will be reviewed and adjudicated after I’m done working. And now they need to look up the word adjudicate.
