.... our daughter ... freaks out if she can't contact me the instant she needs me.

I don't know how old your daughter is -- but really, whatever her age -- I submit that you're not doing her any favors regarding her maturation & development by facilitating this kind of behavior.

And by making this "normal" behavior, you're also helping to create incidents such as the one at the funeral.

I started to say pretty much the same thing. But the last time I did on a thread similar to this, I was told that my kid was a big cry baby or homesick or something to that effect - geesh. (& it was from someone who has no kids :roll.

But I totally agree! I take my cell (on silent) everywhere just in case. It has been a wonderful piece of mind. Many times over.

Yes.

We both have an anxiety disorder. If you don't understand, you don't understand.

I have to take my cell phone everywhere for work. It's my little 5 oz. panic attack that fits in your pocket. However, I use the silent feature and will leave the room, area, building, whatever so as to not be rude. If it's something like a funeral, wedding, or other event that doesn't need to be interrupted then I let it go to voice mail.

Just because you have a ball and chain doesn't mean you can't hide it. :roll:

I like to put one of those little bluetooth things in my ear. Nobody ever calls me, so I just talk to it. Sometimes I even leave my phone turned off in the car and talk to my little ear thing. It's even more fun when I make eye contact with strangers when I do it.

I wonder what life was like on this planet before the cellphone??

--oh, wait! I do know....it was GLORIOUS!

I now want a bluetooth thing! I can talk to myself and no one has to know!!!

Remember pagers and then having to find a pay phone? How about the audible pagers that no one could understand?
