Yeah my daughter is the same way. If she is on it all day her attitude goes to hell. My son doesn't. He'll watch something for awhile, then he has to go find something to hit with a bat.

We make her go do other things.

My “kids” are 45 and 42.

Enjoy them and their problems.

The problems never go away.

They just get more expensive. And then you get grandkids and now even great grandkids to spoil.

And grands and great grands are the finest things ever invented. They make your heart swell with pride and joy. And they are born knowing how to melt your heart.

Plus…..you can send them home to mom and dad!!

My kids are 23 and 20. Couldn’t be more proud of both of them. They are my pride and joy. I’ve loved every bit of my time as a Dad - all the good and bad together. It’s what life is all about :)

Good point. If you are smart enough, but back when, I am not sure that tracking was available. Nice to know that parents can be "big brother". Hopefully they don't know that you know:) Or maybe better that they do know???

I never viewed their phone as a safety device. Good point.

Not there yet, just glad I got through the teenage years!

True. Time to contemplate my belly button on all of the above responses.

Tech is good and bad. Done contemplating:) Surprise!

My oldest knows because I told her flat out "Mom knows every website you visit, has read every post you've ever made and knows where you are at all times because she tracks your phone".

I'm a straight shooter but we also trust our child to make the right decisions, so there's no reason to hide the fact that we're aware.

IMO, parents need to be more diligent than ever when it comes to online policing.

I lock my teens iPhones down with restrictions

I also use ‘find my iPhone’ and ‘life 360’ apps once they started driving.

My kids are pretty good overall. We keep a pretty tight leash.

Not having kids is AWESOME. I do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it. Highly recommend it.
