Just wanting to compare mobile phone and internet rules. DD seems to think ours are too strict, I don't.

These are ours:

Mobile phone
  • We will pay for credit once a month. If credit is used before the month is up, they either have to wait or pay for it themselves
  • We must have all passwords for phones and if we want to go through it, we can at any time
  • No phones in bedrooms, either during the day or night. Phones are to be left on charge in family room overnight.

If any of these rules are broken we confiscate their phone.


Internet (goes for phone internet as well)
  • No computer in bedrooms at any time of day or night. Computers are to be left on desk in kitchen overnight.
  • We must have all passwords for FB, email etc
  • Only add people they know personally to any social media account they have
  • No chatting to random people


Do you think those rules are excessive?
