Tamara said:I hate to say it but I think you are being naive if you think the children don't know. They learn from friends, especially friends who have older siblings.
I appreciate your honest opinion.
No matter what either they know or not... All what I said is my responsible for not warn Alan about 0190 in first place. It's my responsible, not Alan or others. My children only know that they are not allow to use 0137 unless they get my permission first. They haven't touch 0137 since I warn them. I trust them. I would doubt their talk if they use 0137 on my phone without get the permission from me sometimes in the past.
All what I do is accept BOTH side to listen but I am still waiting for Ken's mother's side to listen then I will know more...
Children are generally taught from a young age that it is wrong to use the phone without permission. For that reason he knew it was wrong. It does not matter what number they rang, they knew it was wrong without permission.
Yes, it's correct, that's what I taught my children for.
If it was my child they would be punished for using the phone without permission and/or not telling me straight away. Not after the friend told him at school that his mother was going to ring you.
I think I already said in my previous posts - now I said again.
Yes my children deserve ground from me if they disrespect my rule but with Alan's condition is a different story because I never warn Alan about 0190 in first place. It's Ken's issue, not Alan. We appreciate Alan's honestly for inform my hubby straight way after came home from school. We gave him a chance and warn him to not touch 0190 at other's house next time. Now I'm waiting to listen Ken's mother's side then I will know more...
IF Ken knows that he is not allow to touch 0190 then he will deserve his ground for disrespect his parent's rule.
As what I know from Alan last night that Ken use phone during his parent's absence which not right but Ken's parents has no right to leave Ken alone to go work during one week school holiday.
I said, I know Danny is older than Alan. phfff

Crazymomma,
and said that he thought we know but we didn´t and told me that we also leave them alone for few hours, too. I replied: "did I leave you and Danny alone with your friends in my house all the day in everyday"? He answer No. I said to him that I trust him and Danny alone in my house for few hours sometimes, not all the day in EVERYDAY with friends without my supersivon. It´s not acceptance. I also told him that I feel hurt that I didnt know about this. Alan apologied me and thought we know because we met Ken´s parents quite often. I
him back and told him to not worry and explain him that it´s not acceptance to leave Ken alone all the day in EVERYDAY which too much, if one to two hours sometimes is okay.
So Liebling, you're right you don't have to pay half of the bill. Ken’s mother is responsible for the phone bill because she did not supervise them. And she needs to go to the parent class and ACTS like a parent she is now since Ken's birth. And she can’t give them privacy because they’re LITTLE. They have no expectation of privacy in the bedroom or the next room (kitchen, living room, shed, closet, etc) if the parents have a choice to go in because they’re kids. I would just go in the bedroom and check on my kids. They know my rule. If Ken's mother choose to file a civil lawsuit (I don't know much about the Europe's laws), just tell the judge why you refused and tell the judge your side of story. I'm sure the judge will tell her that she lost her case because she didn't supervise the children in her home. Make me scratch my head, "Where is Ken's mom???" Jeez. As for the ages, the children should be left alone at home while parents are at work or left with the older sibling who doesn't want to watch the younger sibling(s). They're not matured.
It works. I told them, "Hey, you suppose to ask for my permission but you didn't. So no phone today for you. Scoot you two, read a book or study your vocabulary for the test on Friday." "But my friend is callin' me..." Cut. "Sorry, you have a lot of time to chat in school." It's a wonderful feeling to be a parent. I enjoy the parenthood.
I thought a lady from sex shop should say the same to children... It look like a lady want money... and giggle with them... which it´s no right... I will suggest her to do that but the problem is what Ken´s mother did is illegal accord child protection law. I will advise her to check with lawyer.
