We have 9yr old dd. Last Christmas she asked for a mobile and I put my foot down and said she was too young. Dh was all for it, his argument was so that when she's at the park we can get in touch with her. Now for some this maybe a valid reason however, we live in a tiny village and I can see the park from the house. She didn't get one.
He has taken her and the other 2 to butlins for the weekend and dd has just phoned me from HER phone. I'm fuming that he's gone and got her one without discussing it with me. The chances are I might of agreed to her using one while they are away as he majorly stresses about their safety. Would I be out of order having a rant at him for doing this without telling me??
