A Texas mother has posted a picture of a sign put up at the daycare where her daughter goes.
The sign taped to a window near the pick up area reads "You are picking up your child! GET OFF YOUR PHONE!!!!"
Those are the first two lines of the page-long statement aimed at parents who appear too busy to appreciate their children more than email.
The sign continues: "We have seen children trying to hand their parents their work they completed and the parent is on the phone. We have heard a child say 'Mommy, mommy, mommy ...' and the parent is paying more attention to their phone than their own child. It is appalling."
Juliana Farris Mazurkewicz posted the picture, which she took on her phone, on Facebook gaining more than 1.3 million shares since Friday.
Mazurkewicz told media outlets in the U.S. she is not angry, just shocked the sign was put up.
"I know that the staff has the best interests of the children in mind, even to the point where they are willing to offend the parent." she said.
