My 17yo daughter has been gifted Alexa for her birthday today by her mum (ex wife) . I'm livid because nobody asked me if it was OK. I don't want Alexa in my house and I don't know what to do next. My daughter lives with me. Her mum and I are divorced but we have a good relationship as friends.

I would not want Alexa in my house either. Your house, your rules. You will have to ask your ex to get a refund and buy something else. Tell your daughter your reasons and say if she wants an Alexa when she has her own home that will be up to her.

Well she'll have to keep it in her bedroom then and it needn't be connected to any accounts you have. She's 17. She should be able to make that decision for herself.

Just say you don't want. It's your house, so your rules.

Why livid?
