[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child isn't able to speak up enough to tell a parent that they need to use the phone, they aren't old enough to be advocating for themselves in a sleep over situation to begin with.

Teaching my kids that its okay to call me, no matter whom they have to ask to do so, is important to me. I can't advocate for kids who don't know how to advocate for themselves. [/quote]

Glad that works for you.  Doesn't work for me.  I prefer my kids not have to go through another adult to contact me which is why my kid has a phone.  I don't need another parent policing my communications with my kid - and I'm just as likely to text my kid as they are me.

If you are texting your 13 yo when they are at a party, I find that controlling. I take phones away at midnight and let them know that if their parent needs to contact them after midnight they can call the house phone or my cell. [/quote]

Again, another person that doesn't have teenagers. [/quote]

Pleas explain why exactly they need the phone surgically attached to them the entire time?[/quote]

Please explain why you need to be so controlling.  [/quote]
