I think my dd is far too young to have a mobile phone. However earlier in the year my husband bought her a cheap phone from tesco that she used to text her father ( he lives about a 5 hour drive away and sees her a few times a year). We also live in quite a rural area and dd goes off to play and we use it to call her home or to ask us to collect her from the riding stables. I didn't agree with buying her the phone but kept quiet. DH knew that I was not happy with the purchase.
I am due an upgrade on my iPhone and will have a spare one. I assumed dh was going to have my old phone . DH had told dd that she can have the phone, I now look like a total bitch as I have said it is innapropriate.
We also give small and simple gifts for Christmas , this has been a choice we both agree on. I am annoyed that he wants to break this tradition by giving dd an I phone . He thinks it is not a problem as the phone is not costing us anything. I think this is irrelevant .
