[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd support that.  I assume if a kid wanted to reach a parent they could simply ask for their phone then. [/quote]

Agreed. I think it would be good to let the parents know in advance too.
That way if they need to get in touch with their child they can call the home phone.

I agree, the house rules apply. [/quote]

Do you people actually have "house rules?" 
What kind of dysfunctional family needs an actual set of rules? [/quote]

Every house has rules. We are not talking about a proclamation posted on the front door. Just general rules of conduct

Here are some of ours
No shoes in the house
No eating in the bedrooms 
No laptop, kindle, ipad, etc during the week

I am sure once he is old enough to have a phone we'll add no phones at the table

So if your kid comes over I would expect them to take off their shoes and not eat in the bedrooms
If we were having an after school play date I might relax the screen time one.

Anytime DS has gone to sleepover with his own device I remind him that the rules of that house apply.  When the parent says put the device away it goes away. I am fine with a parent "parenting" my child when my child is under that parent's supervision.
