[quote=Anonymous]Please tell the kids and parents that you plan to take the phone when you invite them. We have a simple flip phone that our ten year old only has when out without a family member. She has food allergies and between the fear of her eating something and getting sick as well as her not wanting to be rude if there is nothing for her to eat we all feel better when she has a phone readily available. So, our family rule is you must have the phone if you're not at home or with us. She would panic if she was told to turn it in against our house rules. Of course I always let the hosting family know about the allergies and medical problems and she is a great advocate for herself but this is the way we choose to deal with it. So, it is fine if you give advance notice, fine to ask kids not to use devices after a certain time, but NOT fine to just make this rule once the kids are there. [/quote]
