Just want to check if I'm in the right ballpark or if I really am the mean mother (what DD12 thinks - apparently no-one else has these limits etc etc).

I think it's been getting out of hand - she does little else at home, often grumpy, doesn't engage with us much, so am trying to limit to 5 hours a schoolday on her phone. I think this is still too much, but with the hour she spends on it before school she hits it easily.

Hello @SundayRoast1234 ! It's better now, though she's still on it a lot. Homework has ramped up as she's got older, and she's picked one of her hobbies back up, plus is old enough to go to teen gym. (To be honest she also spends a lot of time on pampering).

There were other issues around this time - generally a@siness - but things are A LOT better now and generally feels like we have DD back from mardy teen phase. So keep the faith!!
