How do parents get rid of devices (both theirs and their kids') these days? It seems like any outing with the kids, as beautifully planned, is us watching them or even ourselves consumed with the iPhone or iPad. How do you have time without it being a hinderance?

I used to have this problem with my son because my hubby used it as a pacifier. However when his tablet broke I didn't buy him a new one. Problem solved. He can survive without it. But now the problem is with my hubby. When were together he spends most of his time using the phone.
