There’s nothing like “World Cup Mbappe”. This is the exact same Mbappe that plays for Real Madrid. Real Madrid should fix up their and stop blaming their best player for every issue
Anytime I see her watching Tv and using her phone, she gets a "one screen at a time" rebuke from me.
Initially, she'd respond with "leave me jor" but I was consistent.

Was watching football yesternight and scrolling X, when I heard a stern "one screen at a time!" rebuke from behind.
It was her, doing her best impression of me.
My instinct in such situations is typically to casually dismiss her:
"Go away, woman"
After all, I'm Baba yehgha; no one tells me what to do, least of all a mere woman
But I caught myself, and realised if I did that, I'd lose the moral authority to enforce that same rule with her.
Because for a lesson or principle to be truly persuasive, it has to first apply to its author before it can effectively apply to its audience.
So I dropped the phone.

Moral of the story is that when you're trying to get someone to do or stop doing something, the day they start calling you out for the same misbehaviour is the day you know the lesson is being accepted.
And perhaps most importantly, when you willingly hold yourself to the same standard you've set, you legitimise it in a way no argument or justification ever could.
One of the strongest indicators that you've successfully taught a principle to someone isn't that they obey you, but that they start applying it to you too
