I’m being completely unresonable by not letting him have his phone after a certain time in the evening.

Apparently every other teenager is allowed their phones when they are in bed.

Im a terrible mother.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who makes their child come off the computer at a reasonable time and plug phones in outside of their bedrooms. Then I can feel less terrible Smile

Not just consuming porn but producing it.

No better time than bedtime to send an unwanted dickpic.

Passed all my GCSES AND A levels - went out every weekend with my boyfriend and used my phone non stop.

On tap year before uni.

Its not a big deal and my friends who had parents like the ones on here felt terribly isolated having such a strict regime

Son always did the same as me - no phones, computers or TVs in bedrooms at my house. We did have radios.

I now have a tablet in my room to listen to the Sounds app if I wake in the night. It's so tempting to use it for other things, but I really value the sanctuary of my bedroom.
