[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my groups of friends- friends from when our kids weee in kindergarten together now they're in eighth grade are extremely strict on technology use.  One mom won't even allow a phone until college.  Several don't allow tv or video games unless sports.  One doesn't allow pop music.  These are not religious people, but are extremely grade and achievement oriented.  Most Ivy League or similar.  I have a much looser way of handling electronics, etc. and feel my child needs to figure this stuff out and make mistakes even  at this age.  I've certainly been through parenting differences before - but this one is getting under my skin as there's a lot of sanctimony and judgement behind it.  Advice?  It's a major topic of conversation for the group and usually I just bite my tongue but lately I find myself increasingly annoyed. [/quote]

How is there sanctimony? Give an example...  Do you actual have evidence that they're secretly allowing technology use while preaching against it? If not, I don't how there is any sanctimony...[/quote]
