Advice From People Who Have Teenage Steps

CrystalRE's picture

I have a 13 yr old step daughter. We have carried her cell phone on our plan since she was 11. We allowed her to take the phone back and forth with her on visits to BM. She recently got grounded from her cell phone for a week. BM did not agree with her being punished so she bought her a new cell phone on her plan.

She did not discuss this with DH, he heard about it from a mutual friend. He emailed her and asked her about the new phone and she said, "The new phone is on my plan and it will stay at my house. If you want her to have a phone at your house that is your choice."

DH and I both think its ridiculous for a 13 yr old to have two different plans, two different phone numbers. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this?
