Especially as a freelancer who stays home to raise my daughters, I rely on my phone to do my work when it’s impractical or impossible to have a computer in my lap. I realized recently that perhaps I’m a little too attached to my phone. When my two-year-old daughter came across my phone sitting on a table or the kitchen counter, she’d grab it and bring it to me. Grinning ear to ear and shouting, Mami’s phone!, she’d insist I take it. If I thanked her but then set it down again, a tantrum would follow. My toddler’s world wasn’t right if I wasn’t literally holding my cell phone! Oh God, what had I done?
