I do have an iPhone, and my kids have "smart" phones as well, but I did so under the pretense of me being a single mom and them needing to contact me or the authorities no matter what. I realize now that's kind of a cop out and given the financial straits we've been in, not the brightest move. Suze Orman would probably yell at me for it.<br /><br />I am there with you on the driving thing, though. My kids don't get driver's ed through their school, it's a separate thing that costs about $500. Therefore, my kids don't get driver's ed unless they can pay for most of it. So far only two have done so. They also can't take their driver's exam or get a license OR drive my car unless they pay for the expenses and the insurance. My eldest, at 21, went off on his own and got his license and bought a car. He pays for all of it by himself. Sigh. <br /><br />I kind of miss the good old days!

Then he got an iPhone at work and has been hankering after something a little more up to date for his personal phone.

My I-phone is her old 4s and I am just barely able able to use SOME of the features, although not Maps or Facebook. I really prefer a printout of Google maps and I can only have Siri get me places if Lillian sets up my trip in advance. Or stay home. That's good, too.Jenny Hart Borenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587246633354905840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-28411157328264739502015-07-18T10:51:00.878-04:002015-07-18T10:51:00.878-04:00Now that is a modern definition of a REAL family, ...Now that is a modern definition of a REAL family, I guess.

My husband has a smartphone with unlimited data, yet he still refuses to use the map function and prints out directions from mapquest. <br />Susie's observation is hilarious and maddening all at the same time. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-41506397662649820932015-07-18T00:56:40.960-04:002015-07-18T00:56:40.960-04:00My husband hung onto his old flip phone so long th...My husband hung onto his old flip phone so long that AT&T offered him a free upgrade to a smartphone because they could no longer give him service on his old phone (it wasn't 3G compatible). He's walking around here rather smugly this week, listening to music on headphones, answering e-mail,sending voice-activated text messages... He's ahead of the rest of our little family -- even the married twenty-somethings!<br />Meanwhile, I'm using my not-so-old flip phone (which I secretly like).
