[quote=Anonymous]It’s not so much the fact that you’re seeking advice on whether to get an 11-12 year old an iPhone, but the way that you have phrased it, it seems that you have promised her an iPhone without talking to your dh first and now looking for ways to convince him. A 6th grader who already has an iPad doesn’t need an iPhone automatically and definitely not for a 5th grade graduation. You need to talk and agree on these things with your DH. Families and circumstances are different, in terms of kids mobility, independence, etc… so there is really no universal right or wrong here. But you phrased it in a way that you and dd are team and dh is opposed, and this is just an unhelpful mindset or attitude.

“She has made it very clear that she wants an iPhone for graduation”

“after talking to nearly all of her friends’ parents it seems like everyone is planning to give their kid an iPhone for graduation.” - I assume you asked?

“DH is very opposed”

“DD already has an iPad so she is on group text chats with friends and access to the internet.”[/quote]
