[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 570043, member: 84"] You might not choose to do this during the xmas break........ However, if my kids were "addicted" to cell phones and video games and responding to each other the way you describe? There would be no cell phone (or at least none that can take games or other apps) and no video games / computer at all until their behavior changed. They need to learn (or be reminded) there is much more to life than those things. I don't understand the so called necessity of a kid having a cell phone to begin with. We survived our childhoods without one. My kids survived theirs just fine without one. Granddaughter Kayla has her own cell. I think she spoke a few sentences to me when I saw her. Too busy messing with her cell phone. The child would normally literally talk my ear off at 100 mph. Good grief, she's 12, wth does she need a cell phone for? I dunno. I know I was strict on such things. (my kids were allowed no where near the home computer unless it was homework and I supervised such "homework") But I think my kids are better for it. [/QUOTE]
