This is unpopular but I don’t gives a shit:

1. Children don’t need a cell phone until high school.

2. Block social media at the house with a PiHole.

3. When your kids get sad about how unfair is it they aren’t popular or don’t have access like other kids remind them they aren’t paying for it.

> remind them they aren’t paying for it.

Do you really think an average 10 year old will understand what you mean by that?

I know they won’t understand, but the fact remains they are a 10 year old and can cry about it all they want but they are still a child and supposedly you are the adult. Who really runs your household?

Constantly reminding someone of your authority surely leads to resentment over time. Is it not basically a recipe for your kids systematically removing you from their life as they grow?

		Do you have children or is that some theoretical posturing (bullshit)? I have two adult children that are doing just fine.
