My child will be allowed to send text messages when she's older, has a job and can pay for the service herself.

Agreed.
Times 3! Same goes for the computer... We have our 3 systems in the basement, all within view of one another, and the one my daughters can use have the LAN cable conveninently disconnected unless I'm updating or something. It's going to stay that way for a long, long time. We'll gauge their responsibility level as they age.

They're not. That is the most ridiculous list of acronyms I have ever read.

You guys say no now, but watch what happens when one of their friends start doing it. I bet things may change then. We are in the computer age and might as well embrace it. Besides who knows, maybe their early experience in text messaging may be the thing that results in them having a great career in computers or some offshoot.

My husband and I are IT professionals, each with over 20 years of experience. No, she's still not going to be texting until she can afford it herself.

My husband and I don't have text messaging enabled on our own personal phones, why would we for our children?

I'm not letting my son waste too much money. I'll charge him rent as soon as he gets a cell phone. The rent will be directly deposited into his education savings.
Majority of those acronyms are crap though. FB usually means FaceBook... I have seen it mean the other though.

hey all... been a while since i've been to the boards. Hope everyone's doing ok
to those who say this list is rubbish: my husband works in a secondary school (11-16 year olds)as a guidance manager. Part of his job involves dealing with problems caused by phones, texting, photos etc etc and computers (MSN and facebook give him the biggest headache!)
Because of these hassles he often has to gather evidence from phones, and he recognizes a good half of the acronyms on that list!
