[quote=Anonymous]I don't know. That's how I feel about politics around my family. They are all one party, and I'm another. And unfortunately we all talk politics all the time. So I just stay silent most of the time. This really is a case of different families do things differently. And if they are 13 now, that's pretty old. I consider myself pretty strict on technology but by 13, the kids need some independence. I'm surprised these conversations are still going on at this age. I thought it would be an elementary school problem. I don't know if there's any better way to handle it other than saying nothing. You likely won't change their mind and they won't change yours. The only thing I might say is that "I've taught my child how to appropriately navigate technology along the way, and I'm really proud at how responsible he is, both with time management and content." Or something like that. That's the ultimate goal, right? [/quote]
