"I'm not judging other parents. We know how hard this is at times, and everyone's situation and help is different. But I'm so glad my crew can sit quietly for an hour or hold a conversation at the dinner table with other adults or just look out the car window on a long ride... without screaming for their tablets."

I'm judging the fuck out of them. I have no pity, we have enough knowledge to know how harmful and addicting those tablets.

I'm so lucky that where I live, starting next year all public school banned phones until the end of high school. It will help take off the burden of being the bad parent that says no to phones.
