[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's normal and I'd advise you let it go because if you make a big deal out of the little stuff they will find a way to hide it and then you'll never be alert to the big stuff.[/quote]

Sorry I completely disagree.  If I knew my kid was sending texts like that, the phone would be taken away and I would hope that of my parent friends saw a text they would tell me. I occasionally look at texts from time to time and my kids know I do. The phone is mine and it’s their price ledge to have it. It is not the keys to the kingdom. They will see mistakes but how can they be corrected if no one is watching?[/quote]

[b]There is one mom in DS’s group who routinely texts and calls the other parents to report language.  [/b]They are all saying the typical things reported here. Most parents are polite and I always tell her thanks for letting me know. Then DH and I talk about how she can’t deal with the kids getting older and how we can’t believe she’s contacting parents over this. The boys don’t hang out at that house anymore. That’s a good idea for everyone involved.   Please tell me if my kid is being mean to others or doing something really bad. You don’t need to tell me you overheard or saw the F word while a group of middle schoolers where talking or texting amongst themselves. [/quote]
Put it in context for us. What age is DS's group?
