Our son got in trouble so we took away his phone and gave him a flip phone. His friends started calling him Flip Phone. Sometimes the only way you can get through to a kid is by their friends making fun of them. Parenting for the win.

I got my very first shitty fricking cell phone 2 months after I turned 16. Could be WAY worse.

Raise them right so they end up using social media to bitch about social media?

Are you holding him off the ground by his gay arse long hair reading our responses? If not, I'm not sure why we need to care.

I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t let their child have snapchat unless they were doing bad things. Y’all just don’t want him to have snapchat? Come on now. We’re in 2022 boomer.

I dare you to go back in time to 1975, show my father snapchat, and say that to his face.. Double dog dare.

Goddamn right! People dont know how to parent these days, no wonder their kids are out of control. One time my brother asked my dad for a soft pretzel at a baseball game and my pops turned around, pulled out his .45, and shot him dead between the eyes. It’s called tough love.

I mean, I know my 17 year old niece seemingly only uses snap for everything. She at least answers her texts though. I have some kids that would work for me and if I really needed to ask them something I found it was easier to snap them if I needed a quick response.

So a bunch of y’all are not familiar with Screentime in Family Share for iPhones? I can literally see every app, usage by app, and can disable individual apps or all of them with a simple tap. And they can’t add anything without first asking me for approval. This isn’t terribly hard and it’s built right into your phones and works quite well. They know I can brick their phones with a couple of taps (and yet still allow access to specific contacts like their mother and myself). I’m sure Android has something similar.

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.
I've seen teenagers have total f*cking breakdowns when parents have taken their phones away -- like gone completely f*cking insane. It's like their phone is their total f*cking life.

While our boys have cell phones (obviously), they are not on ANY social media platforms.
Are they nerds? Yep. Are they extremely well-grounded young men? Yep. And, they are happy with who they are.
Social media is seriously polluting young minds.

I got a buddy who is 30 years old. This is a good old baw that works at a meat market. All he wants to do is Snapchat. It’s aggravating as frick. I told baw just text me like normal.

Fortunately mine have never fussed about it. I’ve eased up on my youngest now that he’s 16 but when he was a few years younger kept it from him quite a bit and he didn’t care. Even my 24 y/o knows not to have a device at dinner table when she visits, and I never allowed my kids in public to be glued to a phone. At home, bad weather, they were sick, or maybe an hour on weekends I’d let them play games on it.
I had a rule, if I pulled my phone or laptop out then they can also. Probably all dumb as shite, hell, as parents, this is all in the big scheme of things kind of new. We just all hopefully do our best. Important for us not to be glued to devices all evening also

This is what I don’t understand. I’ve had snap since it came out, and I don’t get how/why it’s easier to respond or text within the Sc app as opposed to text message.
