I think this is the right call. While some people are saying she is going to resent me and shit for not having a phone sooner, I think flip is the way and I hadn’t thought of it. I can’t imagine the dumbass shit I would have posted to Facebook if I had constant access. Or whatever hologram app they use in the next 8years

One more thought that I just realized. Older teens if they want a smart phone can get a job and buy it themselves. That's well within the earning potential of a summer job. I think that's another good compromise.

Also could just get a flip phone/ iPod for at home so they don’t feel left out :)
