So I find out today that my wonderful daughter Miss M has been 'YouTubing" it on her mobile. Just FYI, she was banned from the Internet and her mobile for a month 2 weeks ago because she went feral on Butternutt who was doing nothing wrong except for having a joke with her at dinner time and she cracked it and slapped his iPhone from his hand. It was just lucky that he caught his phone or otherwise it would more than likely have gotten broken if it had of hit the floor also my daughter was previously banned from watching YouTube videos on her mobile since she doesn't pay for it.
Anyway, me being the nice mother I am decided I would let Miss M have her phone back so she could call her dad or Facebook it and message her friends but was made out for a fool when I went and checked up on her usage and found she had spent just under half the monthly data allowance in 2 days, we still have a week left so I could only imagine what the actual cost would have been if left unchecked. So I called her out from her room and question it and she basically decided she didn't want to answer me and kept her mouth shut. Of course I became angry and instead of carrying on like I usually would I sent her to her room.
Dare say she's now lost the phone for good and when the next billing cycle hits I'll be able to put the phone on a cheaper plan till the contract expires which is in June this year. I don't think I can express just how much I'm disappointed in my daughter to her as she just doesn't seem to care. I'm hoping that maybe one day something will click with her and she will finally wise up to life and realise that when she turns 18 this year she's responsible for her own life regardless if she lives at home she's have to contribute more to the family.
Hey sis I think its kids in general, we strive to give our children the things we didnt have growing up, and wanting them to have the same things as the other kids so they dont feel like their out of the circle, but I have to say they just dont respect it and come to excpet it like its there right. I think once they leave home or in Miss M case turns 18 it will be a huge learning curve, it will either make them or break them, and I know in my case with Miss S shows them that wow mum really did good by me.
