Ahh the days of if you wanted to call someone you had to sit in the lounge on the fixed wall phone.. With little sisters listening in and all...

I shudder to think what it will be like for my kids.

Sorry this post had been in no way helpful.

I think your rules sound fine..the consequences are no phone, so they really don't have much choice but to follow the rules.

Just a Q, what is the going age to get a phone?
