LMAO Paris knows that as soon as she starts high school she can have a mobile phone... yes I've already been asked. But it will be prepaid and she will have a max of $30 (or the equivelant) per 2-3 months unless she wants it topped up herself, but there will be strict rules she cannot use say the last $10 unless she is prepared to cough up the cash for the next recharge as it will be mostly for emergencies. For me its purely peace of mind. I would like to know I can always contact my daughter and that should she need to she can always contact me. Also the high school she is going to will not be close.

I know we are strange but its just how we feel about it.

BUT if we didn't feel that way I'd want my kids to respect that, Paris wont be allowed to have a TV in her room till she's finished school. Sounds harsh but I would rather that she doesn't isolate herself in her room when going through those "emotional years" and I'm sure there will be tantrums and fights but I'm prepared for that.
