These rules are ridiculous. If you don't trust your child enough to use the phone responsibly, then you shouldn't give them the phone in the first place (or in this case, lend them the phone). These rules allow the child to use the phone for roughly four hours per day; basically only when at home. What's the point of even having one?
- fossuser 14y agoExactly, this is hardly a gift - it's a leash. If I was this kid I'd prefer to keep my crappy phone or just use some combination of google voice/laptop and throw the iphone in the trash. Probably a symptom of just generally really controlling parents.
- MichaelApproved 14y agoIf course the child isnt able to use an iphone responsibly but thats not what this is about. It's an attempt to teach their child. The child is 13 and the parent is using this as another tool to continue to teach the child manners and responsibility. Children need guidance and help while growing up. Some of these rules are ridiculous, but I like that the parent is continuing to guide the child through life changes. There's no question that having the Internet in the palm of your hand is a major life change.
