After living together for 9 months - the two older kids do refer to me a one of their parental units now - - Capstern Dec 26, 12:53
Yup. Our oldest "wanted" one for years, because some of the other kids had them from age 6+. - JaxSean Dec 26, 12:31 1
- That makes sense -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 12:45
Wait, I thought it was his job to make all the decisions? -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 12:27 1
- Thankfully that has stopped, but I was asked for input. -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 12:46
For us...it wasn't a matter of thinking them "ready". it was a matter of when they would be away from us enough - Jim Dec 26, 12:23 4
- To me, this was the deciding factor. It was particularly when they were hitting the bar/bat mitzvah circuit when they would be out late at night - pmb Dec 26, 12:38 2
  - Word. When my kids started hitting the bar circuit, it was definitely time for the cell phones. :) -- nm - Jim Dec 26, 12:52 1
    - lol niiiiice -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 12:53
- yeah, I think every kid is different, as sean says. this said, I think pretty much every kid over age 8 should have one of those dragonfly phones - amanda Dec 26, 12:25
