My daughter received a text from a classmate last night (read: from another 11 year old). It read, "Hello baby."
"Try again" was the response I sent.
"That was my dad" was the follow-up response Laurel sent.
There was no reply.
I recognize that moments like these are going to shape, or determine, what kind of dad I'm going to be to our teen.
And I admit that the more I think about it, the more I want to march over to the kid's house and speak with his parents.
What would I say? I just want them to have some situational awareness. How they handle it in their home is their concern.
What my kid receives on her phone is my concern.
