[QUOTE="Genny, post: 143406, member: 95"] $1200??!! Ooooohhh. That kid would have NO access to a cell phone? Please tell me she is banned from it. The first cell phone my difficult child got was in my name. I bought her the phone and the plan for her 17th birthday because she was making progress. The deal was if she went over the minutes, she had to pay the excess. The first time she went over, she paid. The second time, she refused and I cancelled the plan. It cost me $200 to get out of the contract early, but I didn't tell her that. I figure it saved me money in the long run. She had a fit, but what was she going to do? She was too young to sign a contract, so she had to save her money and do the pay-as-you-go if she wanted a cell phone. To this day her cell phone is in her name, and she's responsible for the bill. You can bet she keeps careful watch of her minutes so she doesn't get stuck with fees! Your girls are in for a rude awakening, Carolanne. You're doing great - just don't let them get to you. If I were you, there would be no internet either, after what you described finding on facebook. You can't keep her from "doing it" but you can prevent her from using YOUR computer to arrange it! You go Warrior Mom! Towanda! [/QUOTE]
