  • I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I’m pretty involved in my son’s life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I’ve ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

    “Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!”

    What? He’s being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

    At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.
