To ban Facetime at 8am?

[porkypoo]

DS (16) has a gf and they seem to Facetime loads. Which is fine, but not at 8am AIBU? DS thinks so..

How does when then FaceTime affect you?

*they

Just because people are getting dressed and ready for work/school etc and he does it all over the house. Just think some things are left to the imagination!

I'm amazed that he's up and willingly doing at 8am!

Why bother about it? It would just be phone calls or texts otherwise.

What are your reasons?

I think YABU.

Do you stand behind him getting dressed?

What is 'face time'?

Well just dont walk behind him while your naked then!

I have a DD too who is getting ready at that time too. Just thought he should respect other peoples privacy too? He cleans his teeth, has breakfast etc etc facetiming. Trying to assess if its worth sticking my ground on this one! .

and i'm sure my singing in the shower does nothing for his street cred. . HollyBerryBush is just video chat.

I'd say not. If coochy coo at breakfast makes you ill, just ask him to take it to his room/another room.

I thought it was just me who finds face time intrusive.

What is Face time? I have never heard of it.

I would just ask him to face time in one room. I wouldn't ban it.

Sorry, I misread your earlier reply re this!

What is "Facetime"? The third time of asking!

Gosh. Anyone seeing me over a video link at any time before 11am would only want that experience once in their life! Face like a carrier bag and hair like a dropped Mr Whippy - pretty it is not!
YANBU. Ask him to confine it to his space.

It's like a video chat Rainbow.
It was answered upthread.
You can do it on an i-pad i-phone etc.

I wouldn't want someone wandering around my house at that time, which is effectively what's happening. I think it should be confined to his room, although you probably will have to accept he may decide to eat breakfast in his room as well.

YANBU
People wandering about in all states of undress with wild hair in rushed half asleep chaos first thing in the morning.

Definitely not for sharing.

Facetime is -You can see someone and they can see you on the same screen whilst you are talking. You can walk around and show stuff if you want to - it's on iPhone 4 and 5.

It would annoy me at 8am. Tell him to stay in his room.
Tell him to actually brush his teeth properly and concentrate on what he is doing and get off the blooming phone....Oh, young love!

Just spoke to DS that conversation went well..

Ah well - he's 16, got a hot girlfriend and has been enjoying showing off a bit in front of the old fogeys and his DSis. Just remember - it probably won't last much longer.

And then you'll have to deal with the 'Woe is me' at breakfast. You can't win.
