My daughter just texted me to ask how I feel about her getting snapchat when she turns 16 later this month. My response:

Don’t do it. No need to have it at all.

Stick to your guns no matter how much weeping & wailing or "I love you, Dad" daughter eyes.

You look in their my eyes only?

Dr MoBYU

5/1/23 4:31pm

I have their passcodes and check that and their stories, saved photos, etc.

RSL

5/1/23 4:33pm

Do you check “my eyes only” it’s somewhat hidden and requires a PIN

Dr MoBYU

5/1/23 4:34pm

Yes. That's why I said i know their passcodes

RSL

5/1/23 4:35pm

Yes. There’s a passcode to get into snap then there’s a PIN for “my eyes only”

Dr MoBYU

5/1/23 5:21pm

My man, this is the third time I'm telling you that i have and do look at that frequently

He wants you to admit that you have found porn

Pretty strange he keeps encouraging you to look in what he calls “the greatest repository of child porn in the world.”

It’s called “My Eyes Only”. Yeah—it’s world’s largest repository of child porn.

Trust my kids until they break it. Then privileges removed.

RSL

May have this parenting thing backwards. Job is to be suspicious of everything until trust is earned.

Soupie

I do agree that we probably parent differently.

I don't even want my kids to have social media until they're out of high school

I have 3 kids with phones and one is a senior in HS and the only social media

TempeCoug

I’m on the same boat. I feel that

Jimmertime

So far we are that extreme. No social media allowed. I will hear her out and lay out why the answer is still no.

We would rather our kids make mistakes while they are still at home and have our

Why did you leave us for 2 years? I missed you.

There are some areas social media isn't unavoidable. For example, my son is

I think I’d feel pretty good that she asked me. Good job dad.

I thinks it’s because he has control of her phone

Jimmertime

Not gonna happen. Sorry but my kids are gonna be organically raised

Jimmertime

I have five kids. None of them get social media. My oldest is 23 and told me
