Episode 255; THE AFTERBIRTH; Social Media

Yeah, and they throw it right back at you because they see us on our phones, but they don't see themselves on the phones.

And we don't see ourselves on our phones.

No, this is true.

Yeah.

But yeah, I mean, I think that ban was brilliant.

It was amazing.

I voted for it because as much as Eden will probably hate me for it, I think we've got to protect them as much as we can.

I don't know how much...

They're always going to find a way round, but I think as long as you've got that leverage to go, well, it's illegal...

For many years, we can use the whole, I don't know about you, but the police will come for you.

And at this point, they believe that they're going to come for you.

So we've got that in our back pocket for a while.

Yeah.

And I think you're right.

It is that.

It's like alcohol is illegal under 18, but people will try and...

I was on the park with something I'd pinched from my mum and dad's fridge when I was underage.

But...

it i obviously if it was legal for kids under 18 there'd be a lot

more problems yeah so yeah would there maybe because if it's not seen as bad no yes no it would no we do need to keep alcohol illegal until yeah

at least yeah

but yeah it's interesting i wonder how it will look when they're you know our kids are four and they're about to start school so you know you get into that whole i hear that whatsapp you know because we're not quite in that area yet but i hear like there's whatsapp groups start you know when do they get a phone i can't imagine i don't want to give her a phone until she's i don't know i don't know the age where you go here's a phone there's a safety element i quite like about it the location and keeping a little bit of track yeah you just get an air tag for that put it in their shoe yeah but what age do they get a phone do you think is it like kids i feel like kids age 10 have phones no i

i i've come across kids as young as like seven that have phones and look i'm trying i'm not gonna judge because we've not got to this bit yet have we um but it that feels very very very young and i just we'd all like to hold off i guess as long as we can on the phone but yeah i think a communication aspect maybe i'll get him like a cool flip phone from like the noughties where he can literally just make phone calls and just be like use that like it's retro it's cool people will be jealous of you

yeah i am worried already though like she sees me carry my phone everywhere like she'll like i'll be in a room and she'll go here's your phone mum Like she's brought it to me.

I'm trying to keep it in another room to keep my usage down.

Yeah, and they throw it right back at you because they see us on our phones, but they don't see themselves on the phones.
