    When did boyfriend sleepovers become a thing

    @ajhnh My daughter will be 16 in August and is on the pill for the same reason.. I allowed her to go on a ski trip with her boyfriend and his family at Christmas but sleeping over in the house I don't think I'm there yet.

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

    @naturelove I went here to figure out how my daughter was talking at 1 am. It was Roblox. https://www.familyorbit.com/blog/bypass-parental-controls-on-iphone/ I also have her devices in one profile on the modem so I have her wifi shut off at a certain time.

    Teen retaliation

    @scottwilson So we just sat down last night at dinner and had a conversation/agreement. She doesn't think it's fair that I have her phone and the modem set to shut off at 11:00 on school nights. She thinks that because she's 15½ she should be able full access to her phone. I reminded her why I...

    Teen retaliation

    @scottwilson I might also just suggest that you get some of his input when making up the contract. That will make him feel like he has some control which is important at that age. I just had to do a contract with my daughter regarding School attendance so she has very clear understanding of what...
