I think parents like you are heroes. This is a hard, imperfect job with so many things to keep up with. It's exhausting and that's why we need each other. I love it when I hear parents admit to mistakes because it makes me feel like I can admit to mine, too, and somehow that will help someone else. I also love it because you obviously have your child's interest as top priority and not necessarily the need to be right. You're an inspiration!!SRaischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303486464283391099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902477097669167409.post-91866864015953920052011-02-10T12:20:05.480-05:002011-02-10T12:20:05.480-05:00At the end of last summer I agreed to let my daugh...At the end of last summer I agreed to let my daughter have a Facebook account, (she's 10) but only if she checked it when I was present. None of her friends were on it yet, because she's so young, so she quickly bored of it, forgot the password, and that was the end of it. It satisfied a bit of curiosity for her. She realized she had better things to do and moved on. <br /><br />When she gets into middle school, it might be a different story, but I am prepared to say that I have changed my mind and will not allow her to go back on until she's 13. I regret having let her lie about her age. Parents make mistakes, too, and if you recognize you have, it's better to fess up than let the situation continue. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. <br /><br />Thank you for the great article!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
