Not a rebel. But kid has appropriate boundaries. [/quote]

How do you spell "infantalizing"?[/quote]

You spell it “infant[b]i[/b]lizing.”[/quote]

Thanks.  Now stop doing it.  Your DC doesn't need an electronic tether to you.  [/quote]

You don't get to tell me what my kid needs. That's the end of it, really. [/quote]

So is this a threat to your parenting?  Phones are a personal item and kids are an extension of ourselves.  Do you see someone messing your personal item?  Like I really don't understand this reaction because surely you are not actually saying it's a good thing for your kid to always have a phone on them.[/quote]

It's not a threat. It's a power move for no reason other than OP's "This is my house" flex. I pay for the phone. I choose for her to have it. I don't care if you think it is a good thing for DC to be on it or not. It's not your business. It's not OPs business. Or decision.

OP is weirdly controlling over her own kid - fine. Over mine? Not going to happen.

For people like OP- just let me know your weird, controlling rules before inviting my kid so we can decide whether to decline or not. But, lbh, we wouldn't be friends in the first place. So, luckily this will be a non-issue for us. [/quote]
My kids' friends come over and hang out in the basement. They play video games, generally hang out, and occasionally share stuff they've seen online (I still don't get why they watch videos of other people playing video games, but whatever). They might leave the house to go to Starbucks. But, I'm not seeing them individually staring at their phones. I really don't get what problem OP is trying to fix.

It just comes off as bossy and fussy. [/quote]
