How often do your young teen DC have to keep in contact when out?

[MeltedCrayons]

DS is out and I am fine with that. Just hanging around the town with his mates. His mates are nice lads.

How often do you text / expect them to text when out - is there a certain time frame you expect to be in contact at? Esp. if under, say, 15? Or do you not expect them to contact you at all unless they want a lift home?

How?

Bert you’re being tediously jackhammerish. In your family you do what works for you, in ours we do what works for us.

Bert are you really so unbelievably arrogant that you believe yours is the only correct way of doing things? Or maybe, just maybe, do other families make decisions which work well for them?

It’s really ok, I was joking with you

Lol. Of course he can ask his friends for an address! He can also find his way to a bus stop and get a bus. Or a tram connecting to a bus if that is quicker. He's done both of those things on occasion, and probably much younger than children would be able to do these things on average in the UK.

Oh well. Let's agree to disagree.
