Having a cell phone at 11....hmmm, I don't know how to deal with that when the question pops up with my kids.
Everyone (parents) that my wife has talked to agree that he is too young for the cell. I let him text, 200 per month. Guess it gets revoked for 6th grade, gets it back in 7th? If I lived in NYC or Chicago, etc. I think I would give it to him now - yes with GPS - implant it in their skull while asleep!
Otherwise it's time for "that" talk in front of his mother, and a privat talk about were to hide it
Yeah, I feel the same! It is inevitible!
I just want to a) know that it is going on, so that I know where his head is and I can talk with him, and 2) moderate what he sees at any given age. As with everything, there are various degrees, from mild to - well - ummm - disgusting!
Hard to tell them that they will for sure break minor rules - part of growing up - but major rules no way - and where is the line ....
Still trying to figure out for sure that he likes girls and not boys, think so looking at the links, but never know I guess ....
OK, back to the serious folks here before I get booted!
Cheers,
Michael
