[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the heat and don't cave in. Too many kids are turning into phone zombies. She'll thank you when she's older.[/quote]

Lol or it becomes a lifelong point of contention that it ruined her social life and was unfair the rules were different for her sister.[/quote]

100% this.  If you think for a second that she will ever forget how she was treated unfairly from her sister, you are mistaken.  [/quote]

For this and several other reasons, not providing a phone to an 8th-grade, 14-year-old when you have the means is a very bad decision. it feels like you want to deprive her just because you can.[/quote]

It's a weird power play and I see this a lot on DCUM especially with the teens.[/quote]

Because a lot of [b]educated, wealthy parents on here became that way thanks to perfectionist, hyper-controlling traits.[/b] Sadly that can translate into control-freak parenting where perfect becomes the enemy of good. My husband is like this. I temper his control-freak tendencies and that's how our kids are growing up relatively normally. If he was the only parent, they'd have run away by now.

GET THE DAMM PHONE.

And yet here they are combining out on their phones tripping over themselves to explain why it's OK for them to spend the day chatting with anonymous strangers and trolls, but DD mustn't chat with her real life friends.

It's just narcissism. Rules for thee but not for me. [/quote]
