[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you tell him to come home and he ignored you? If yes then I would punish for that by taking away the phone. If you tried tried to cajole him to come home or appealing to him then no I would not.[/quote]

Thanks.  Yes, I specifically told him by text to come home, twice. I also called and he didn't answer.  Agree that phone is the logical punishment for this.[/quote]

If I call my kid and they don’t answer they lose their phone for one day. If I text, same thing. Each incidence of ignoring me results in one day of lost phone privileges.

The primary reason for them to have a phone is so I can reach them. This is a hard line for me. Ignoring my texts or calls is not an option. Period. [/quote]

I WILL FORCE YOU TO LOVE ME!!! That always ends well. [/quote]

NP. Are you kidding? What does this have to do with "forcing you to love me?" This is a hard and fast phone rule at my house too. The purpose of the phone is not texting friends or playing games. It's to keep in touch with parents.[/quote]

No why would anyone want to have fun with their device. I see that you are of thenI say ‘jump’ you say ‘how high’ school of parenting. Why not just get one of those shock collars for your kids in case they step the slightest bit out of line. I can assure you that when they are paying for their own phone they will relish not responding to you. The stick isn’t the solution to every dilemma. [/quote]
