That kid is gonna get bullied in school.
Source: I was that kid, I didn’t have a phone for most of High School, so I didn’t get into groupchats so I basically had no friends for most of highschool. Fun times 🫠
(I mean this “no-smartphone” thing has to be a collective thing across society, you can’t expect this to work if only one parents does this.)

I never gave any of my adult daughters cell phones and I don’t plan on giving them to my daughters in grade school either.
Hard pass on my daughters getting dick pics and hanging with the popular kids
When they are old enough to get a job and earn enough to buy one that will be fine with me.

Your just shit parent. I gave all my teen sons Smartphones and at the same time parented my kids and kept track of what they were doing with them. I still pay for 2 of my kids phones. I love it I can track where they are at, and call and text them when I need to. Dumb take “they can pay for them” bet you still be all up in arms of what did on there even if they paid for them. You are going turn you daughters in to unknowlegable and vurable women who will have hard time later in life. All on you trying protect them. Just fucking educate them on the dangers. World scary place deal with it and make sure they are prepared for it.

I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.
It’s just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

And the person calling someone else a shit parent uses it for surveillance.

Lol, your kids got all fucked up and you don’t even know it. Generation mentally fucked with by tech bros, but you watched them so it is okay!? Stupid as fuck.
I have met some dumb fuckers in my life, but you take the cake. How many dick pics did they send, nevermind you didn’t even know they did.
My daughters are not tech literate, they used to help me build computers. They can install operating systems while all your kids know how to do is swipe.
Do you like how I jumped to a bunch of bullshit conclusions that I have no clue about?
You raise your kids and I will raise mine.
