[quote=Anonymous]I love the generalizations in these threads.  It really depends on the kids.  Mine are 14 and 16, both have iPhones, we have wireless internet in the house.  Both kids charge their phones in their rooms.  My son has a gf and I'm sure he is up late texting and/or talking to her.  But you know what, both kids have a 4.0 gpa, my son is up at 5:30 to workout at the school gym, is a 3 sport letter winner, and my daughter does competetive gymnastics 3 nights a week, plus saturdays.  Both kids are (generally) very responsible and respectful kids to us, coaches, teachers, and other parents.

My kids [i][b]chose[/b][/i] to participate in all the extracurriculars and as long as the grades stay high, they can manage their sleep and schedules.  FWIW, their bedtime is between 9 and 10pm, weekends a little later.

And to the PP who said iPhones are $700- you're clueless.  We got the 5c for a PENNY and got a data plan for our family.

By this point in our lives, phone in the room is low on the totem pole of parental concerns.  [/quote]
