Social Media – Mummy’s new little helper, could you be addicted?

A quick morning check of what everyone’s been up to on Facebook since I last looked the previous night is most definitely a habit I’m finding hard to break. In fact, it’s such a part of my daily routine now that I do it without even thinking. I did try that ‘no phones in the bedroom’ rule once, but I ended up not being able to sleep without it beside me – which I’m sure is the opposite of the aim of the exercise. I told myself that my inability to relax without it was because I might need to call someone if the house got broken into in the middle of the night; I was protecting my children by having my phone there on the bedside table. But we all know that the real truth is that I’m a mum who is a social media addict.
