9 d. ago My husband is always on his iPad. I miss him. How can I ask for screen

Time without screens doesn’t need to feel like homework, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith. But it might help to suggest some active alternativesRead more Leading questionsMy husband is on his iPad or his phone a lot. It is the last thing he does before bed and the first thing he reaches for in the morning.We have a toddler and are pretty good at sharing childcare, but the minute I appear after work he gets his iPad out.

After foreign aid cuts, including Trump’s, she is now out of a job’My home country, Japan, is one of the safest places in the world to give birth: it has one of the very lowest mortality rates in Asia.
