[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My very cool sil is the coolest mom I know, very open with her kids, funny, not a prude. Sometimes her kids say “grow up mom” while they laugh with her—still very responsible and capable.
Her kids are now 18+ so she has been through it—

The past 5-10 years, she told them age 18. When they can do it themselves. They respected it. Now, the kids don’t want it much. It’s for younger kids, doing stupid things.

My 14 is begging me. I will wait at least a year and see if she still cares. I have app control on the phone. I will say, she could create an account on a friend’s phone. If she wants to go to that length, whatever. But she wouldn’t have access to it on her own device all afternoon and evening.[/quote]

I have to add my 14yo’s friends who have it are not stupid. They are normal kids, they only friend their 5-10 girls in their very close friend group.
-I still say if can add to drama. Because you can see when people saw things
-my dd is constantly telling me this is how she plans to use it. Just for close friends.
-I tell her, “close friends” may change and you’ll start to ask to add more people.

This is why i want to wait. She’s convinced it holds her back socially in some way. She is not held back. She has many friends, is cute and likeable. She can communicate with anyone in her phone already.[/quote]
