I don’t know, maybe playing outside since it was really nice yesterday, talking/gossiping, watching a movie, baking. There is plenty to do that doesn’t require having a phone or iPad in your hand for more than 6 hours straight, no?[/quote]

Teens don't play outside, whatever that means.  What's the difference from social media or a move.  Did you set up baking and help them?  [b]You need to be involved and provide activities[/b].[/quote]

No, this is not appropriate at this age.  Back off. This isn’t the elementary forum.  [/quote]

You either provide them with activities or you don't complain.  Maybe yours have unlimited spending power in your home, mine do not.  So, if they wanted activities, it would have to be through us, paid for by us.[/quote]

You changed topics.  Now you are talking about who pays for activities. First you said parents had to be involved and plan the activities.   No, parents should not be involved and planning activities for middle school and older sleepovers.  Sure, they should pay for any supplies needed when kids plan them.  They are too old for mommy to be planning crafts and cookie time. [/quote]

Then don’t complain they are on electronics.  You will not get involved so they choose easy.  [/quote]
