    Thats sooo weird!! None of my children have a phone or use my phone like that. They have on the odd occasion had a friend call me so i could talk with their parents to make sure a sleep over was ok but that was it.

    Um, she's 6. She doesn't get phone calls! If my 6 year old wanted to call one of her friends I'd be saying nup, you'll see her at school tomorrow lovie. Talk then. Obviously if you need to change arrangements for a play day or whatever then that's a different story if the kids want to have a very (and I stress very) quick chat.

    I think the father is way out there in Oddsville. To have a go at you for not answering and therefore upsetting his little princess is really wrong. I would be saying that its my phone, for my use, and that I don't want my kids developing the habit of using the phone at this point in their lives. Having said that, I acknowledge that I'm also probably a bit more backward in this regard than many people are. My kids won't be given mobile phones any time in the foreseeable future, do not use my phone to play games on etc.
