  • I would let him have the same stuff as his classmates

    By the way, this one really stings. Sucks to not be able to participate with friends using their phones. Sucks even more to have to borrow it because you need to participate in a class activity that requires it or have to do something urgently and no way to use a computer.


  • I’m not gonna be a Luddite and say smart phone bad. However, you seem concerned so I’d recommend locking it down as much as possible if you want to keep them off stuff like TikTok or Xitter.

    As an anecdote, having a smart phone made school much more tolerable since it let me watch TV during lunch, browse memes when waiting in awfully long lines daily, and being able to listen to music when allowed was awesome. They’ll definitely be grateful for one, just gotta make sure it’s not abused.

    Also, they’re going to need to be acquainted with the little computer in their pocket eventually. Good to do it before they reach the rebellious phase.














  • I would definitely say so. Personally, I’d just not have one. Let them face the consequences of lack of sleep so they know how important it is. I think it’s weird that sleep schedules are never emphasized to teenagers. Probably a lot less sleep deprived teens if they were encouraged to get all the fun done before night hits and then easing into sleepy time.

    But not having a set time could also backfire and they end up like I did with only sleeping like 4 hours but getting naps in whenever possible at school. Always surprises me how good the human body is at adapting.



  • Never really thought about it. Have always wanted to visit either the French countryside or some picturesque forest in Europe. But someone mentioned trains and unlimited money.

    A nice indulgence then would be a luxury train line that navigates throughout most regions of the planet. Probably the most expensive ever done but should be possible. Could probably take years to travel the whole planet in maximum comfort. Wonderful.

    Advantages of a vacation train would also be having other people around. One cart per person/family. Not everyone would be in it for the whole ride, so probably lots of passengers changing too. Could have wonderful parties or just group entertainment like movie nights.
