Friend asked me to post here as she's not on the site but wants some input.
Friends dd is thirteen and uses an android phone, as do friend and her husband.
However, her dd desperately wants an iphone. Friend has said she's seen quite literally all of dd's friends use iphones. It's apparently it's the done thing and you're not 'with it' if you don't.
Friends DH is extremely anti-apple and will not entertain the idea. Friend is on the fence but learning towards no because of the peer pressure message, but would also be fine with it.
They could definitely afford it
What are your thoughts?
YABU: Her dd should have an iphone if she truly wants one
YANBU: She'll survive without one, it teaches a good lesson

Yes and while you may explain this to your children, its not up to you to control their mores or politics[/quote]
My 'children' are adults.

And when someone's children are still young enough it is up to the parents to instil values and morals into them.
