@LikeAGlassBalloon did you mean the 30th of February?

When the kid can pay for it all by themselves
@come2gether My first car only cost me $375, a white two door 1979 Ford LTD with a burgandy Landau top, and a 400ci V8 that threw me back into my seat barely touching the pedal, bought it in 1990.

@NativePortlander1970 my first car was a 1980 Toyota Corolla fastback with a 4 speed manual. If I still had that car today, it would be worth a lot of money.

The age where they can pay for it themselves.
Nimbus · M
@Adrift Yep, seems reasonable 👍
AbbeyRhode · F
After he's learned to use it responsibly, and has a job, so he can pay for it himself.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Exactly!
Matt85 · 36-40, M
well, if you have the cash to splash
these are the best years of their lives.

Give the brat a pager and be done with it. They can have a cheap smartphone in their mid teens and once they earn their own money they can get a branded phone.
Nimbus · M
@Longpatrol Good point!
come2gether · 46-50, M
@Longpatrol I didn't even know pagers were still a thing until I read about some proxy militia in the middle east having a bunch of defective ones

Should have and would have are 2 different stories.
If a parent can afford it, that child is having it, as soon as they begin walking to school. Maybe even before.
Nimbus · M
@SW-User True, even if they cannot fully understand it!

@Nimbus It's all about 'everyone else' having it and not being 'left behind'.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
No need for the latest and greatest.

If you think your child needs a device there are plenty of cheaper alternatives.

Parents should perhaps think more about what controls they have over what their child could be exposed to on it.

@Nimbus 🤔age in liverpool does not really matter nimby as they will be relieved of it any way when it gets nicked lol 😆
Adogslife · 61-69, M
Most teens have a phone by 8th grade if not before. It’s really a function of affordability and the maturity of your child.
Nimbus · M
@Adogslife Good point 👍
When the child shows that they're responsible enough to have an iPhone 15.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
Nobody should have an iphone. Theyre over priced and have to much hype. Andriod is a better system.
If a boy, a basic cellphone once he hits puberty, so he can google girls. A girl, when she is 21, she is just gonna text constantly other girls, or worst, guys. Make her read books on science instead and wear drabby clothes.

@Dignaga I disagree. Girls need basic cell phones at age 14 to 15. Girls are targets, and they need to be able to call home or call 911 if they are in danger.
@4meAndyou Fine, chastity belt and electric fencing around her bedroom window. That's a good compromise.

When they can pay for it and the contract every month by themselves.
4meAndyou · F
When he is 21 and can afford to make the payments himself. 🤣🤣🤣
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
When they can buy it with their own money
When intelligent parents deem it is necessary to have one. Not many intelligent parents these days.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
When they can afford to purchase it
when they can afford it...
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
When it can pay the bills 🙂
Kiesel · 56-60, M
Why does it gotta be a 15?
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
When they can pay for it
Morvoren · F
And when should we take them off old people?
