Snap chat was also a no, since SIL thinks only naughty things will be posted there. It is always something.

My youngest probably asked every day from the time she turned 10 and I made her wait until the day she turned 12, just like her older sister. What's really weird is that she really doesn't do much on there now that she has it. I guess everyone wants what they can't have?elzimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915998764957687826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-34809833451093286472013-11-04T13:49:06.263-07:002013-11-04T13:49:06.263-07:00All my kids have an account.

They also don't know their password, I or my husband has to log them in to play. Now my two teens use it for much more but like you I know their password and monitor their use. But Twitter is off limits until they are 18,lol.MLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259927955882641969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-52911099876093636442013-11-04T13:32:21.451-07:002013-11-04T13:32:21.451-07:00Yes!

I was seriously annoyed. Our elementary school only goes up to 5th grade. It should NOT be a concern yet. <br /><br />I'm hoping by the time my boys are old enough for it, they will think it is a lame old person's thing and not want anything to do with it.
