[quote=Anonymous]My DD just turned 12 and is in 6th grade. We had her birthday party tonight at a craft place she loves. There were 15 girls total, about half from school and half from a sport she plays. She was the only girl without an iPhone (got her one for her bday but she doesn’t have it yet) and all of the girls were on their phones the whole party. Literally the entire time. At one point I told everyone to put their phones down and suggested a table in the corner to take a break, but one girl said she needs to keep it with her in case her parents text, and then they all said the same. It was honestly really disappointing. My daughter brought it up and was really bummed that all her friends were preoccupied. Just curious if this is common, and as parents do you talk to your kids about being present or not rules in place for phone usage outside the house? Not that we are giving DD a phone want to make sure she isn’t this rude to others.[/quote]
