I have a phone addiction and had never thought about it until now. It hadnt bothered me till one day my son made me see that it was hurting him.

About 2 nights ago i was playing with my son and i got my phone and snapped a selfie with him, i was about to upload it when he snatched the phone from me and threw it behind him.

It was one of those eye opening moments.. i noticed ive been too busy on my phone that im not paying him the attention he needs. I feel like its my fault that he is where hes at in his milestones.

He turned 7 months the 23rd of december and he can not sit on his own yet, just started holding his bottle, hasnt really been trying to crawl. He started standing at around 2.5-3 months, i wouldve thought hed be ahead from where he is by now. He only stands if i hold him. I tried having him stand holding onto things and he cant.

He is really smart, ive seen that hes a quick learner, he was already saying papa and now he stopped. He hasnt said it in a few days.

Its hard to leave my phone, i basically grew up with it. Ever since high school ive had one and i pretty much live in my phone. The only time when i dont have it in my hand is when im playing music. And even then i feel the urge to check it.

I dont know how to stop it, i dont want my son to be behind because of me, i want to dedicate more time to him. 😔
