[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm no Instagram, Facebook, twitter, vine or any of the like. She/he can have whatever they like at the age of 18.[/quote]

We had 5 daughters in our family, and we were not allowed to date until we were 18 and "out of the house" because mom didn't want to deal with it.  One of my sisters got pregnant within 6 months of leaving the house, the other one entered an abusive relationship with a man, got pg, gave her baby up for adoption, then became a lesbian (which is fine - I mean the lesbian part, the rest of it is not fine).  The other 3 of us didn't get pg, but we have serious relationship issues.  I wish I was allowed more of a normal childhood.  I am going to allow these things for my kids at an older age like 13 or so.  I agree with pp's that you have to let this stuff into your house so you can help guide your kids through these complicated issues.  [/quote]

I, along with my sister, were not allowed to date until we were 18. We are both successful, have no issues, she is in a great marriage and I, happily engaged. Mind you, we are in our twenties, so we grew up with the internet and all of the social sites. It's possible. Oh yes, we also didn't do sleep overs, which I know is a totally different dilemma.[/quote]
