Following on from a point made on tonight's Question Time, I made some blithe comment to DH like 'Oh well, our kids won't have phones in their bedrooms when they're older...' (Three boys, aged 8, 5 and 1, currently no phones/tablets/games things/etc owned by any of them).
To my surprise, DH says he didn't agree with banning phones from bedrooms, felt it was too prescriptive - and we have had a (very mild, mostly good-humoured) argument about it!
AIBU? I just think it can be introduced when they get a phone (when is that? Start of Y7?) as a basic rule - leave downstairs overnight - so sleep is not interrupted, they don't fall down the Wikipedia rabbit-hole, reduces likelihood of cyber-bullying (I've read it peaks at night), etc.
(So as not to drip-feed, DH is a fairly rebellious third child; I am a do-what-I'm-told first child! Yes, oversimplifying a bit...)

No phones in teen bedrooms - a no-brainer?
