[quote=Anonymous]I'd find a way to make a phone for her work for all of you. Come up with rules as a family that will at least allow her time after school to communicate with her friends. You're cutting her off from something she wants to . . . and should . . . be part of outside of the school day. When I was a tween/teen, the OG telephone was a social lifeline . . . I was on the phone with my friends for hours most evenings, and being forbidden from that contact would have had a significantly negative affect on my friendships and overall social experience at that age. As for your husband, don't give in to his anger and control issues. His parenting is over-restrictive, and his disproportionate reaction to an understandable transgression is worrisome. Advocate for your daughter and stop letting him bully both of you.[/quote]
