@gabectomy: This lady came in and I’ve never seen someone who was so openly in their son‘s business to such a crazy degree. She wouldn’t even let him have his own email address to himself. Mind you this kid was 20. #customerservice #customersbelike #storytime #retailproblems #momsbelike
as soon as he's off to college: "why doesn't my son talk to me anymore?? 🥺🥺"

My kid is 21 and there is no way I want to know what’s in his phone. Like ever.

CelticAmy :
nah, cause I had some things (safeguards) on my child's phone: immediately on my child's 18th bday, removed all of them and unlinked it from my account. its one thing to do this for SAFETY, its another entirely when its for CONTROL

one of the best things that happened to me the summer I graduated HS was I got enough graduation money to get a new phone that my mom never got to touch!! they were pretty strict/controlling but thankfully once I was 18 they loosened up a lot and my phone was still on their plan and they paid for the line but I finally got complete control over a piece of tech it was GREAT

I'm so glad that I'm old and didn't grow up in the age of cell phones because my mom would have been the same.

My almost 16 year old was sitting next to me listening to this and he said, "I'm really glad she's not MY mama." While the internet is a dangerous place, by the time they reach my son's age, they should have some privacy. I've taught him right from wrong, we have open, honest conversations and I trust my kid. Is he perfect? No. But he's a waaaaaayyyyyyyy better kid than I was at his age...

I hate when parents immediately go like “why don’t you want me to see? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING????” Like…nothing. Just want privacy .-.

My 18yo watched this next to me and made a face. 😂 Then said “thanks ma for being the not that weird mom.” Took it as a compliment

As someone with a parent that absolutely would have done that if they had the chance, you are absolutely incredible. That kid gets a chance at having a real life at college now!!! 💖

Meanwhile both my boys had their own AppleIDs and all when I got them their phones, and their 16 and 19. The rule was I could check their phones at any time, and I had to know their passwords (mostly because they tend to forget them.) I haven’t felt the need to check their phones.
