think it would be a good or bad idea to ask her for us to leave our cell phones in the car during dinner?
Personally, if at all, I would suggest it as "hey, let's leave our cell phones in the car everyone so we can focus on us and not be disturbed" and leave yours, regardless of whether W leaves her or not...That said, and read around, but maybe you really want to let go of suggesting much of anything to her right now...she will see it as controlling....and will most likely prove to you that you don't control her or her life...
Ever try to take a cell phone from a teen-ager? Much less a teen-age girl? If you have scars, then you know what I mean...I don't have daughters, but my neighbor does...his scars are pretty cool, in a tattoo sort of way...
Our mlc'ers are teen-agers again, except they are legal adults and can tell us to eff off any old time...let all this weird behavior go...they all treat their phones as their "preciouses" (Gollum)...
