[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 144917, member: 805"] LS, If I understand you correctly, it's not a matter of using up minutes but rather using the phone late at night? Seems like a pretty easy solution to me. Take the phone at night. When my easy child was your difficult child's age, and perhaps a little younger as well, her lap top and cell phone were placed on a dresser in our hall at 9 every night. Otherwise she would have stayed on myspace. Now at 17 I don't worry about it because she is responsible. I would have him earn it back and then set a time when the phone must be placed in a common area of the house or in your hands. I don't think it's unreasonable that Sun through Thur he has a time limit. I allowed easy child to keep her phone and laptop on Fri and Sat nights. You set the house rules and he has to follow them. Let him know that here are the rules. You either follow them or the cell phone is gone until you are mature enough to get a job and pay for it yourself. Stick to principles. Sharon [/QUOTE]
