Direct quote from my 14 year old freshman after we told him (again) that he couldn’t have Snapchat. He just got BeReal, which seems real dumb, but innocent enough. I’m not letting him get into party mode with SnapChat- no way. Surely I’m not the only adult with this problem, right?

Life existed before social media and the bullshite that goes along with it.

There are plenty of studies out there that constant blue light stimulus and social media is every bit as bad for a developing mind as drugs.

Good Parenting is hard but the right thing is rarely easy.

Raise your kid right and he’ll thank you one day.

Take the easy way out and you’ll reap what you sow.

We took Snap Chat away. Then my wife made me delete mine.

my 15 y/o keeps asking for a cell phone, he hasn’t figured out the more he asks the more the answer is no

Snapchat. Common denominator in plenty of failed marriages.

I dont understand why voice text is considered an old person habit. If done correctly voice text is superior and more efficient in every way.

Take the phone. Now he can’t text or Snapchat. Tell him if he wants to Snapchat, this is how much a phone plan costs monthly and get a job.

Problem solved.

He will never get a date with a woman w/o snapchat.

You are turning your son gay, groomer.

Had that exact conversation with our 13 year old daughter a couple weeks ago.

Told her tough shite - she can’t get it.

Come on man. Let the kid get nudez from girls. It’s like your generations stealing playboys from your dad.

I hate Snapchat but I’m on there to monitor my daughters activity.

My finger is always itching to press the “nuke” button on her iPhone.

Give me a reason

Let the boy get nudes from the chicks. Although tell him to never screen shot them. Could end up as child porn.

My youngest is 16 and he got his first smart phone at 13. Trust me, I fought my wife (no pics) on this for a couple years and finally gave in with him making straight As. It sucks but I took it away anytime he did wrong, weekends made him put it away or give to me, and kept tight restrictions on what he could look at. He seems normal, 19 year old was I think 14 or 15. Have a 24 year old also but times have changed since she (no pics) was that age.
