[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's unreasonable to expect other parents to enforce your phone rules for you, especially when they are busy hosting a party.[/quote] This times 1 million. Your daughter is 10. She’s old enough to know whether using her friend’s phone would upset you and break your rule. She could have held her friend’s phone without using it, for example. There’s absolutely no valid point you could raise with the birthday girls parents. You are upset because this stirred up a bit of a hornets nest in terms of your daughter‘s emotions and your rule being out of step with most of her peers. It’s up to you to decide how to navigate that. If your daughter doesn’t have a phone and everyone else does, she’s going to feel sad and left out. And the reality is that she will be left out. But that’s OK. Your family has your values and it’s a good lesson for your daughter. But don’t be one of those people that waits until their child is 15 to give them a phone.[/quote]
