I agree. I conclude from my friends "back home" who are constantly on the cell phone that it is the
Conduit of Co-Dependency. Here in TV I don't see it so much. Our neighbors and friends here have moved beyond monitoring and micromanaging every minute detail of their "adult" children's lives.
Whenever I hear somebody "managing" somebody else or some situation over the cell phone in public, it's like they purposely talk much louder....like they are so important that everyone else needs to hear them. Professionals are guilty of it too....have heard social workers and business people broadcasting their conversation to an entire store or restaurant.
It reminds me of this saying:
