[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way. Why do parents in this area always think they know how to parent your kid better than you? Such a weird power move to take away teenagers phone. I would be furious if this happened at one of my DC’s friends house. Actually furious.[/quote]

Yes! It’s a strange kind of power move. It’s parents trying to engineer & control how their teenagers and friends socialize. It rubs me the wrong way. But kids would generally avoid a household that does this on a regular basis. [/quote]

It is not different than a parent deciding what snacks to offer and what rules are to be followed in their house. It is a house rule not a value judgement on the kids. You people that cannot fathom your kids without a phone for a few hours are certifiable. [/quote]

In neither of these scenarios you offer are you taking someone else's expensive personal property or socially engineering your child's get togethers. Apples and oranges, which I'm sure you know.

Your assumption that they are not socializing, also, is false. Kids talk and socialize, while on their phones sometimes. Have you ever met a teenager?[/quote]
