What Would Jesus Do?

[TexasGurl24]

Steer them far, far away from social media. It’s a cancer.

?

As fake as this post is, 18. Like smoking cigarettes. You can’t hold that line without the government backing you up with restrictions, you’re part of the yuge problem.

[Olog-hai]

Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are particular no-nos.

I don't want my daughters to be prudes, but

Then stop acting like a prude

[SelfhatingMillennial]

Be a parent and say no social media accounts while living under your roof. Nothing good will come of it. So your daughters hate you, whatever, you and they will survive.
The end.

[Secret Agent Man]

would you want to see your daughters dressed up and in the same type of photos of these women?

would they want to do that in front of both of you?

personally i think you already know what you ought to do.

[missthethunder]

Sorry.

You sound like a reporter
trying to get sound bites/quotes
to help attack Trump supporters.

Just my opinion.

[Mom MD]

Why would you ask a bunch of strangers on the internet for parenting advice? you know what is right so stand up and be a parent

[Guenevere]

Our awesome granddaughter is almost 16 and her parents have wisely steered her away from social media.....no Facebook

She spends her time making straight A’s and having wholesome fun with her friends and enjoying being with her parents

WELCOME to FREE REPUBLIC

[PghBaldy]

“Welcome” if you are what you say. If not, go sniff Joe Biden’s hair.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Have them watch “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix

[Aliska]

You just have to lay down some guidelines and put them on the honor system. Instead of spying on them have a review periodically with them present of their devices. Discuss and let them know their opinions count even though you may not agree with all of them.

My biggest concern was they not give out too much personal information such as address and phone number or arrange to meet people they have met via the internet. That’s a tough one.

If you are too restrictive they are likely to find ways around it and I commend you for holding the line until they were 13.

You're quite the accomplished newbie.
One day in and you're posting vanities.
Retread?

Aaaaanyway...they're children! Be a parent!
When they become adults they can do as they please.
Five years is not that long of a time.

Aside...will you be asking if the toilet paper roll goes over or under next?

[Laslo Fripp]

Almost an hour in and no replies from you…what do you think of Mitt Romney?

need more?

[lastchance]

If your daughter is comporting perhaps a change in diet is called for. But on a serious note. If by this age your daughters do not know how to conduct themselves whether they under your watchful eye or not they missed some home training.

All of the celebs you listed (I only have ever heard of the first one) probably have active Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts. You could spend some time reviewing those and then decide how appropriate it would be for your girls to access those accounts.

But really I would simply 86 social media until they are a few years older. Safer that way.

[Tennessee Nana]

Simple...wait till theyre 18 and out of your house...they can set up any they want to then...

[Mark17]

Just step up to the plate, and do the right thing bro. You don’t need the advice of total strangers. Handle your business.
I am wondering if you signed up for FR, just to ask these questions?
