[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who think you can set restrictions on the phones are hilarious.  The kids are 20 steps ahead of you.  But as soon as your kid knows that they need to hide it from you, you will see nothing and know nothing.  [/quote]

So when their downtime goes off and they charge it downstairs and go to bed, what step ahead are they?

I have a parent code for app limits and downtime.  They ask for more and I give it to them sometimes.  But downtime is a hard 10pm to 7am.

I can literally see on their phone how long they have been on every single app, including FT.  [b] It really isn't that hard to be a parent.[/b]  The OP and the one above are just rationalizing why they don't parent and let the teens run the house [/quote]

Tell me you have a compliant NT kid without telling me . . .[/quote]

I don't.  My first one was a rule follower but my current teen tries to find old phones to upload apps, grabs her Dad's iPad, tries to negotiate more time, etc...

But having the downtime in place with a code they don't know, isn't really one you can get around as long as you click the toggle that says "block after time expires"  My kid's friends have a lot of parents that don't realize if they don't click that toggle, then the kid can over rule the app time.

She needs sleep.  She needs to balance her life.  She is struggling to do that so for now the downtime and app limits stay on.  When she has poor grades, the downtime is on at school from 8am to 2:30pm too. [/quote]
