[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I have been really thinking about this.  Maybe what I will do is activate it and give it to her when she goes out of the neighborhood.  I am just going to have to look and see what kind of phone we are dealing with and how much the minutes cost.  When DD called yesterday she was on her grandparent's cell phone in the middle of nowhere.  The reception wasn't good at all so I couldn't ask a lot of questions.

DH has left the decision up to me but said it would be very rude not to activate it.  That the friend had given this to the kids and she would find out if we didn't let them use it.  The real benefit I could think of is that the in laws would be able to call the kids directly.

what is rude us giving that sort of gift to child without first checking with the parents.
she may have no I'll intent, but you are not obligated to use it.
I do not care if this particular cultural norm says otherwise.
if she gave the kid weed would she have to smoke it?
this is crazy.[/quote]
