[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. Who are these parents whose kids are snapping mine at 10/11pm? 🙄 (Rhetorical question …. )

As parents, we feel like we’re setting the right limits, but we also recognize that DC’s FOMO and fear of social stigma are real. [/quote]

You are setting the right limits; this is an indicator that she associates with a cohort of kids with poor/absent/lazy parenting which means there are also issues elsewhere.

THIS. I have three daughters. The youngest is 12. And this is the lesson. I have seen it over and over and over - The kid who has TikTok at 10, who is chronically online with no supervision, the ones who have instagram at 12 and follow 4000 accounts, so many of which are inappropriate. Watch out for these kids. It might be kind of funny that they have a Snapchat in 5th grade called swiftieglitter1000 but they have no one watching out for them and guiding them and they will inevitably be the ones pulling your kids into the worst situations 3-5 years later.
