Dear Dáithí: 'We have screen time limits for our daughter — should we do the same thing for her dad?'

Dear Dáithí,

I’m worried about how much time my husband spends on his phone, it seems like it’s glued to his hand 24/7. When our alarm goes off in the morning he’s already scrolling through social media. He has his eye on it during every family meal or conversation and in the evening after we put our daughter to bed he’s constantly looking at TikToks on the couch while we’re supposed to be watching Netflix together.
