My teen doesn't have a cell phone.

What's your excuse, OP?[/quote]

Humm...ok, so your point is what?  How sad if they have an emergency they cannot contact you or someone for help.[/quote]

HAHAHA  that is how bad parents just giving their kids a cell phone. generations and generations of kids survived without cell phones.[/quote]

Seriously. When no one else had cell phones either.  There may have been a pay phone here or there, but mostly out on your own for hours and hours staring at age 6/7.  Now all adults have them and every store/business has a phone. Your kid really doesn’t even need one and if he had one, it can be for dialing a few numbers only, not a $700 smart phone with monthly services all paid for by Mommy and Daddy. [/quote]

Ok, so you had neglectful parents.  At 6/7 we were not off on our own.  Not all iPhones or smart phones cost $700.  And, yes parents should pay for phone service.  What next, you expect your kids to pay for their own food and clothing.  You sound as selfish as your parents were to you.  I have no issue with my child having a iPhone or other phone.  Yes, I will pay for it.  It is for me, not for them.[/quote]

Not the PP, but I was walking home from the bus stop and playing outside with friends at age 5 in kindergarten.  I can assure you my mom or any other moms were not hanging at the bus stop in the morning or afternoon, even the half day when just the K kids came home. They also weren’t hanging outside watching us play or following our bikes up to the park. I was definitely more independent than my kids are.
