Parent giving iphones to their children?
Ok I'm getting sick of it. My neighbour has a little boy 3 years aprox. He always cry and get's whatever he's pointing at. Yesterday they came to visit us and the kid began to cry because he WANTED to play with his mother's iphone. The best part is that she agreed and gave the boy the iphone to make him stop. He would play with it for hours and the mother don't even bother to charge it for him. I'm 18 years old but when i was 3 i didn't even touch a phone. Not because they are/were expencive but because it's morally incorrect. I asked the mother why she gave the iphone to the kid (SHE DOES IT OFTEN) and she said that 1. He will stop 2. They get's smarter. SORRY BUT AT THIS TIME I WAS ABOUT TO SLAP HER. What is wrong with parents these days?
What business is this of yours? TROLL
What's wrong with you?
It's her phone and her kid. Relax.
If the kid breaks it it's her own fault.
There's nothing wrong with letting her kid use her phone.
It's not the kids phone it's hers. For your information EVERY young child crys and mones for their parents phones… Get over it, it's normal
It's her kid not yours.
An Iphone has a bright screen and looks fun to play with, so it's probably irresistible to the child. Touching a screen and having it respond and figuring out how to do things I definitely would have been obsessed with. Buying them a tablet for children might work out better, because that little guy isn't making phone calls, unless unintentionally. I think seeing parents using it also compels the child to take an interest in the device as well.
Morally incorrect?
Interesting. Do you think the same of letting kids watch tv?
Well he just needed something to keep him occupied.
Why do you think its any of your business?
I don't agree with the parenting either but how others choose to raise their kids is their business not yours
Giving your kid everything they want when they act disrespectful is wrong, you are right on that.
Giving a kid a phone in general is not the big deal you are making it into, however. If the kid were acting appropriately and respectfully, it wouldn't harm him to play with a little phone for a bit. My cousins love playing with the lights and noises and games they come with. To them, it's just like any other toy they sell for kid's their age, colorful and entertaining.
Isn't it just as wrong to be so nosy in someone else's personal life? Perhaps the kid wasn't actually being disrespectful, and being that he's 3, was maybe anxious or tired and needed something to occupy him.
Firstly, I agree with you. While it's not "morally" incorrect (how would it be "morally" incorrect?) a phone is still screen media and not great for a child. My girl is five and not only doesn't she play with a phone, we don't own a television and the computer isn't on when she's home and awake. That's said, I encourage you to write this down… As an 18 year old who is childless, you know more about what's right and wrong with regard to parenting than you ever will again in your life. When you have children, nothing will ever be so crystal clear again. Enjoy knowing it all. I can promise you, it will not last.
LOL… "its morally incorrect"…
You wanna know what's morally incorrect? An 18 year old telling someone else how to parent their own child!
BUT OUT.
I agree with you but it is her phone and she can do what she wants with it
- Why do poor people care more about their image and buying nice clothes than feeding their family or paying bills? I see tons of poor people who make less than 20k a year spending their entire income on nice clothes and shoes and purses and makeup. Their children are starving they can't even afford to use the air conditioner or pay for electricity but they absolutely need to buy a new iPhone or a new pair of high heels
- Is there anything giving away free iPhones without doing anything? I was wondering if there was any site that's legit that gives you a free iphone and not the points sites cuz they only give very few points for each offers an I don't want to complete offers cuz they cost money and not those referral or sites that download apps and games or surveys I want something that gives you an iphone by just putting in info
- If I sold a iPhone to gamestop can I get it back by giving them their money back? I sold a iPhone 5 to gamestop. Right when i did it, i got all these other offers for more money on craigslist. It is possible for me to go back to the store and get it back if i refund them their whole money back?
- How do people send text messages using their email instead of their phone number on their iphone? Ok so I want to be able to send a text message to someone without my phone number being revealed but my email address to that person and I was wondering if there was a way to do that. Because when some people send me a text message I see their email instead of their phone number. How can I do this?
