[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse and I disagree about whether checking teen’s phone is reasonable parenting, so I would love to hear from others on this issue…. [/quote] 100%. Not every day but I do check it. As well as look at what friends are posting. And I make no apologies for it. A) I pay for the phone. B) she's a teenager. By virtue of biology, they are impulsive and judgment is often questionable. (Though thus far my kid hasn't done anything I'd consider bad.) C) I use her "friends" posts as teaching moments as to what not to do (and there are many reasons why - from problematic to just plain old "the kid looks like an idiot" reasons). I also like to see what they post so I know who my child is dealing with. Knowledge is power. I foresee this curtailing a lot over the next four years. For now, she's a young teen so that is the way it is.[/quote]
