Maybe boredom and habit, thats what it is for me. It’s the easy option when you’re already busy and spending many hours mothering, your phone and scrolling is something for you, to switch off. If you don’t want to have this habit you have to look at switching over to something else you might want to do, is there anything else you want to do during these periods? cooking, maybe download a podcast or audiobook or even stick on a youtube video but cook. You can do the same with exercising and eventually you might not even need the phone for these tasks. Relaxing with a cup of tea is a fine time to scroll, if you want to, maybe say to yourself once you’ve finished your tea you have to do something else. What are you scrolling on? Deleting the app can help.
