[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take their phones away after a set time, but if you insist on no phones then your kid will be friendless soon.  [/quote]

Taking phones away at all affects friendships. They'd all rather go to Suzy's house because Sally's mom takes everyone's phones away. It also affects friendships with[b] parents who don't want you taking their child's property away.[/b] [/quote]

Oh come on now. It's the same as having a rule that everyone takes off their shoes at the front door. Let's not be nutty here. [/quote]

Yup, and you are the parent who will eventually let their kids drink underage so that kids will go to your house Sally's mom doesn't allow booze.

My DS was doing sleepovers at a friends house where the parents do not restrict anything, ever.  The kid is on his computer at all hours of the night playing games and watching TV shows...I know this because I have seen texts from him at the wee hours even on school nights.  Whenever DS sleeps there, he is a basket case the next day.  We stopped letting him sleep there.  We asked him why this boy doesn't have any interest outside of gaming/computers.  And eventually he figured out that friendship was an unhealthy one.  He rarely hangs out with him now.  Hopefully he will have the same attitude about the parents who serve alcohol.[/quote]
