[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, yes the consequence wa directly related with the phone. She was FaceTiming at 1:30am and we have a rule that all phones must be on the chargers downstairs by 11pm on weekend. She took advantage that we were busy helping her 13yr old brother with a school assignment most of the evening and weren’t monitoring her phone usage. She’s better today but did spend most of the night crying and is very tired today. She says she didn’t know it was so late, and it was accident. (Really? Your phone is a clock) [/quote]

to be fair, when I was teen I talked on the phone for hours and sometimes my mom would tell me that I had been on the phone for 3 or 4 hours and I would say "really???" It never seemed like that long and I am sure that I talked to midnight and later at times.

But there wasn't a screen with a clock on your phone.  OP's daughter knew exactly what time it was and waited until her parents were distracted to use her phone after 11:00 pm.[/quote]

A lot of apps don’t display the time. I’m pretty sure when you FaceTime the clock is off screen but I’m not going to make a call to double check. It’s still her responsibility to keep up with the time but don’t make it sound like she was staring at a clock and saying she didn’t know the time. [/quote]
