[quote=Anonymous]13 yr old DD was on her phone the entire time we were at my sisters for dinner this evening. She basically ignored anyone who tried to talk to her. It came across as incredibly rude. After the dinner and her little sister was in bed we asked her to please sit her phone on the table so we could talk. She became extremely upset and started yelling how annoying we are and refused to sit her phone on the table. I told her I just wanted to talk to her without distractions about her behavior at dinner. She told I was over reacting and still refused to simply lay the phone down. I told her I was no longer asking and to sit the phone down now! She stood there and did not put I down. I told her fine since she can't communicate without a phone in her hand she would not have a phone over break. She flipped out and started crying hysterically and I had to physically take the phone from her. This happened at 10pm and she still in bed room crying saying how horrible we are for ruining her holiday. [/quote]
