But... Everyone Else Has One!!
Good morning, welcome to Its A Mom Life if you're new. Welcome back if you're a follower. It's Friday which means it's time for another mom talk!
This mom talk is about kids and technology! I want to know do your kids have cell phone's or tablets? How old were they when they got it? What kind do you start with? How many divices do they need? Do they pay you, how do they pay for it and the bill? I ask these questions because my kid's keep asking for a phone, or some sort of divice as there is so much out there!
So let's start with what to get them! There is so much out there and kids want it all. My 2 older kid's ask the most for a phone, as I would lean more on a better tablet game device.
A phone I need to monitor calls, texting and data. A different game unit I don't. There is still the matter of paying for the games tho!
Then there is still the matter of monthly payments, for a phone anyways, the other would be different perhaps.
So, I ask them how are you paying for it? They have an answer of either I didn't know you have to pay, or well can't you? Hahaha is my answer!! I tell them they need to be old enough for a job, to pay. Can't they do chores, and I pay? Yes,but I told them I dont count there couple daily chores! They then complain I won't "let" them get a job!😒 Let me take this moment to point out they are 10 and 8 years old!
I didn't have a phone till I had a job and worked to get that money to pay for it. How about you, when did you get your first phone? I highly doubt it was just handed to you!
I understand safety reasons for some, however we live in a small town, I don't believe they need one for safety reasons. How about to contact them about where they are, I'm the mom that tells them they come home after school, ask then go! So they lost that argument also.
That's another thing, the kid's these days loose them, and what, just get a new one! How does that work, I was brought up you lost something you found it or it was gone. The responsibility of the world these days I have found not to be the same! What do you think?
So, I'm not sure about my kids having all this technology? I would love your opinion on this matter! Should kids have phone's or technology that will need to be monitored to keep them safe, from the crazy internet world?
What is a good age? How should they be shown responsibility for the bill, and just having one?
Let me know your opinion in the comments down below. From one mom to the next I am actually a little torn on this one, so thank you for your help on this topic.
