Set up parental controls on my 12yo's phone and he's furious
Finally got him his first real phone and installed Family Link to set screen time limits and app restrictions. He's acting like I personally destroyed his life and told me all his friends have no restrictions. I'm trying to be the cool dad but also not the dad who lets his kid doom scroll til 2am. Is there a middle ground here or is he just gonna hate me for a few years?
Fair warning, he's gonna think you're the worst dad ever for like 2-3 weeks. But sticking with it is the right call. My 12 year old hated mine at first, now he barely notices it.
