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]

I hope your father gets terminal cancer and you have unexpected days on end in the hospital.  Then we'll see if you need to call your kid about any nightly details from dinner to whose house to go to.  God bless.[/quote]

I think PP’s issue is with your initial phrasing. You didn’t say, “my kid needs a phone so we can stay in contact while I assist my father in the hospital;” you said you need to be able to let him know that he’ll have to let himself in the house. Those are two very different things and would undoubtedly have received two different reactions. [/quote]
