[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti social media parents are just mad that the rest of us won’t join them in their restrictions on their kids. [/quote]

That's how some people feel when they believe their children should be restricted from something -- everyone should be restricted, some because they think they have the moral high ground and others because it make their parenting job easier. This goes for each form of social media, drinking and smoking, book banning, dating, abortion, teen parties, etc.[/quote]

Not really.  I just lose respect for parents who refuse to set any limits on their kids or tell them no.  Then I have to work pretty hard not to roll my eyes when they foam at the mouth about "safety," after giving their kids full social media access at age 11.  [/quote]

I think it's just harder for you to manage your kids if our kids are allowed to do things you don't let your kids do. But that's life.

I had a mom in 7th and 8th grade calling me to find out what the kids were doing this weekend because she didn't want her child to have a phone that young. Well too bad hon, they are in a group text and they have already solidified plans and I can't be your go between.

You deal with the negative parts that come with your decision and i'll deal with mine. [/quote]

Yep. I don’t care if you want to say no to social media but I just don’t understand the parents that won’t allow their MS and HS kids texting capability. [/quote]
