Weird. There is little that depresses me more than watching my wife sit at the table for hours a day slowly scrolling Facebook while ignoring me and the kids. We have talked about it and she's tried to reduce it to no avail.

You're enabling it by being kind. Stop being so nice.

Indeed. Take the kids out to do something active or just kick a ball or look at the squirrels.
