At what age do you all think a child should have a cell phone? Me and dad both live in the same household so it’s not like he needs it to see one parent or the other. My personal thoughts are you should not have a cell phone until you can be responsible for age-appropriate chores like making your bed, clearing your dishes from the table, and putting away folded clothes. I am open to hearing everybody’s opinions as long as I don’t get bashed for my personal opinion! Keep in mind my husband wants to get him $1000 phone but when he has days off to spend with our son he would rather play his video game.
