My son can text and call on his phone and minimal ability to search.  Very old phone.  It serves it's purpose [b]to be able to let him know if he needs to use his key because I'm not home[/b] when he gets home from school.

He couldn't figure this out if you didn't tell him?[/quote]

If a 12-year old is used to mom being home when he comes home from school everyday---yes, if she's not there it would be concerning.  If something unexpected comes up and I had to run out or I'm not home we communicate that.  I don't say 'use your key' to get in.  I tell him I will be home an hour later, etc.

God, what a bunch of a**Sholes.[/quote]

Oh bless your heart. Your son is what we call a snowflake dear. If he can’t figure out how to get in his own house with his own key, and read a note you left him, that is absolutely your fault as a parent.

Your posts are scary how tweens and teens can literally not function without Mommy. [/quote]

Exactly. Can’t the kid just get in the house and call your cell phone on the landline if he has to know where you are every second of the day. I was ecstatic when I walked thru the door and had the house to myself for an hour or so. I was a latchkey kid starting at 8 and lived to tell. My mom came home anywhere from 4–5:30 three times a week. If it was 5pm, I would even start dinner sometimes. Kids are so much smarter nd independent than most parents these days give them credit.  The babying needs to stop. You are stunting their maturity [/quote]

read post above you idiot.[/quote]
