[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the city and don't have a car so have no idea about front or back seats.

My 11 yr old is supposed to be in bed by 9 and lights out by 9:30 but that never happens and i consider it a success if she's in bed by 10.

She watches a shit-ton of tv, has Pinterest, [b]Instagram [/b]and an iPod touch. She gets straight A's, was on varsity volleyball, is now in track, and ice skates and has friends. [/quote]

How does your 11yr old have an Instagram account.  You have to be at least 13yr old to have an account.

[b]Also, how is an 11yr old on varsity volleyball[/b]?[/quote]

NP - Some middle schools have JV/Varsity sections too.  It's just away to section off the better players without dividing by age.

Also, Gmail doesn't allow account if you are under 13.  I made my kids accounts, and put in a different birth year.  Very easy, and the internet police didn't knock down my door.  I'm the parent, I set the rules.[/quote]

Whoa, you are the parent you set the rules???   No - gmail and Instagram set the rules.  You disobeyed them AND you are teaching your kids that rules don't apply to you and can be changed to your liking.

And by the way, if someone reported your 11yr old on Instagram (a friend, enemy, family member etc..) they would delete her account on the spot.  Happens all the time.  She just hasn't gotten caught breaking the rules her mom doesn't like to follow.

Kudos.  [/quote]
