[quote=Anonymous]Would love to hear from other parents on whether this is just how it is these days or this is abnormal/excessive.

DD is in 7th grade and she and her friends spend WAY too much time on their devices when they are all together hanging out after school or on weekends. Literally all they want to do is film dance videos, play Roblox or watch other people’s videos on CapCut (none of her close friends have any social media). They literally do this for hours and want to do nothing else. Last night she had 2 friends sleep over and I shut the WiFi off at 9:30pm after they had been doing this since 4pm and barely broke for dinner. DD told me this is why she prefers going to her friends’ houses since their parents let them be on their devices for as long as they want. This is a good group of mostly straight A kids from good families who are involved.

I feel like it’s too much and am wondering what rules others have in place when hanging with friends. Do you allow them to be on their devices as much as they want?[/quote]
