[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 622350, member: 17269"] I pay for my kids' phones (difficult child and 3 PCs) so that I can reach them. When they make it hard for me to reach them, or don't call or text me when I ask them to do so, I turn off their phones. It makes perfect sense to me, and keeps me from feeling abused or taken for granted. My difficult child hasn't had a phone for years, except occasionally a burner when he gets one. For a little while he had one provided by a service for the homeless. It is AMAZING how often he can call me...friends phones, phones at the Apple store, strangers phones....believe me it is no problem for them to reach you when they want to. Echo, feeling cynical today. and yes, I love the "OK honey, I love you" response. [/QUOTE]
