When my son was living with me he couldn't understand why I turned my phone off before going to bed. I said why ? He said what if someone wanted me etc ? They'll leave a message if its important I replied.Yep.
My daughter. Addicted, totally and utterly.
We went for a meal a while ago and pretty much all of the family opposite were on their phones during their meals.
We ban phones at mealtimes in our house.
Yep.

When I lost a mobile last year my sister got really irritated when I took a month to get a new one,as she likes to keep in touch by phone. She just couldn't understand why I never replaced it straight away. I like my phone but don't get anxious if its goes missing for a while.If by addicted you mean carrying my phone with me at all times, like people do a wallet/purse, then yes, I am addicted.
If by addicted you mean I have my head buried in my phone for 18 hours a day, actively avoiding other social contact and turning into a crumbling mess should said phone be taken away, then no, I am not.
These surveys are quite misleading and fail to distinguish between the two types above. Thankfully, I think the vast majority of people fit into the former category. Having a decent smartphone makes a hell of a lot of things infinitely easier.
I do not let mine take her phone upstairs.My daughter sleeps with her phone. The first thing she does when she wakes up is check her phone. She also takes it into the bathroom with her.
How old is she may I ask?I do not let mine take her phone upstairs.
The rule in our house is the phone has to be used downstairs only.
I also have a protection programme on there too, Qustodio, which allows me to restrict certain websites and apps and put time limits on stuff (1 hr a day on Instagram etc.).
She hates it, but it really works well and everyday I get a report detailing exactly what she has been on and how much time on each app and website.
12.How old is she may I ask?
Sounds very very strict there fella, without knowing ages.
No offence to parenting by the way

I am. Very happy go lucky. See above.You sound like a barrel of fun
Other thing with my daughter is, that with her being 12 she is at that sneaky stage. They all are.Mine is allowed to use her phone because she just plays games on it.
On the playstation she knows if she wants to add anybody as a friend she has to ask us and I have it set so I can check any PSN messages on my phone if I need to.
Not at the stage of social media yet, don't like the idea of her putting pictures of herself on the internet.
Always find it strange when people absolutely plaster the internet of pictures of their kids when it is completely public.
Also seen a few 11 and 12 year old girls putting pics up on their accounts in sexy underwear, which is very worrying indeed.
Don't think they have the time or resources to be honest and are dependent on people reporting stuff like that.That is wrong. Would think sites like Instagram would remove it.

Bloody hell, when I hear things on the news about paedophiles in my mind its small groups sharing things among themselves trying to stay under the radar as much as possible or a weird loner on Facebook spending months grooming someone. This sounds like these filth are sending out as many messages as possible in the hope one of them gets a reply.Her and her friends were once contacted by a paedophile on Instagram though.
A few of her friends were not so lucky though and were subjected to disgusting pics and requests. Police now dealing with it.
Then, even though I am monitoring her, about 6 weeks ago she got men (in their 20's and 30's) sending her pictures of their erect penises along with highly sexual requests.
What ages?got 3 daughters adn 1 step daughter and honestly have never experienced any of the above
Yup!If I ask what a beauty account is will the answer make me despair for the countries future?
I'd be insulted and wonder what someone was trying to say about my personal hygiene!50 hand gels for a birthday present? The world has gone mad.
Funnily enough, I have my missus down as DCHSDGAS for the emergency services. That stands for 'Don't Call Her She Don't Give A Shit.'No bugger ever phones me so I doubt if I'd miss my phone, but I always carry it with me in case of emergencies. (Dicky ticker and all that!). I also have my missus and my home phone in my contacts as "ICE" after the name. Really helpful to emergency services. It stands for "In Case of Emergency". Any police officer or paramedic will look in your phone for a contact if you're involved in an accident (or in my case, collapse in the street), so it's good to know they would know which of my contacts they should be phoning. Let's face it, we all have loads of names in the contacts list, but which one should they call?
13, 17 amd 27What ages?
All these girls around my daughter are making beauty accounts up on Instagram and the sole goal apparently is to get as many followers as possible. This then in turn leaves them a little desperate for followers and they probably take more risks putting themselves out there.
My daughter hasn't got a beauty account, but I know she goes scouring lots of others.
Could be paedophiles are running some of these beauty accounts pretending to be 12 and 13 year olds. That's just a guess though.
