[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there should be separate threads for parents of boys and girls. It’s not really the same or comparable. [/quote]

How so?[/quote]

I’m the PP. Like when posters say “my son doesn’t even want social media.” Or “My son doesn’t care that he doesn’t have a phone.” Or “My son’s friends don’t do group chats.” It’s just totally unhelpful and unrealistic to parents of girls and those posters have no clue. It’s like me saying “We don’t even have video games and my teens don’t care!” (Which is true; they are girls.)[/quote]

It’s the same it’s how you teach your kids.  9/10 it is that the mom is all over social media as well, and the daughter is right behind her.[/quote]

No. Boys social groups just are not as into phones. It’s different, boy mom. [/quote]
I have a boy, 18 now. They all used their iphones to make social plans. They all have ig accounts, snapchat, etc.  He never had an xbox, though, but he was more into computer games.[/quote]
