    Needing some other parents opinions....

    @eco I think you should support your child being at your home with her boyfriend if the relationship is healthy. She will be in a safe place and you will show you trust her to be responsible for her actions. And you took measures to avoid pregnancy, etc so that’s ok. And I think you should not...

    My son is failing miserably in school

    @getlostinthewild I’d suggest you take a step back and evaluate if all stress you’re going through as a family is worthwhile for a HS diploma. A piece of paper that doesn’t guarantee anything to anyone. All of these punishments are just showing him that he’s not the person that you want him to...

    How do I make my son CARE about things?!

    Is there a way for kids to bypass the apple screen time restrictions?

    @deloachhmt Not to mention Spotify TikTok “podcasts”. They’re using Spotify like YouTube and TikTok while you think they’re “discovering music”. And Spotify users have been asking for years for a feature to remove videos from the platform for kids / teenagers without any response for the company.

    I’m trying to navigate teen years with my daughter

    @mrsmollett Well, I believe you are trying to assert control over things you have no control over and you won’t have control over. At 15, evolving the relationship towards sex is just a matter of time. Sex is healthy, is fun and there’s nothing wrong with her starting having sexual...

    How to deal with a teen who’s smoking weed

    @storm6979 Yes, this. I’d add making sure he will never ever hold someone else’s stash “for a while” or sell some of his weed in smaller quantities to friends.
