My Son and His Phone- Not Good!

Well it got taken away today and it hasn't even been a month yet.  He is 10 yrs old and we debated for awhile on getting him a phone but decided for his bday we would do it.  We don't have a house phone and he was using our cell phone for contacting classmates and family so this seemed to be logical answer.  Plus it was cheaper than having a house phone anyways.

We had rules:

• No bringing phone to school
• No texting/phone calls past 8pm
• No games or downloads w/o asking
• Nobody else use the phone

Guess what I got today...a call from his school.  He brought his phone to school but he let someone else use the phone and they sent an inappropriate text to someone.  The mom came to school and reported it- it wasn't my son who sent the text BUT doesn't matter he broke rules.  When I picked him up from school today I just held my hand out and he knew what he had to do.  Plus he had to call and apologize to the mom and his phone is gone until I think he has learned something from this- so far it's 2 weeks!  

I was disappointed that he broke the TRUST we had with him and how he broke the rules.  He is pouting in his room and as much as I want to give him back the phone to make him feel better, I'm  going to hold strong and he won't get his phone back until DADDY says so, LOL!
