Have one of your kids ever taken your cell phone and hid it calling everyone under the sun?

Question

My 3 year old took my cellphone a couple hours ago, and had me searching all over the house for it. Something told me to go to T-mobile.com to see if she called anyone, and BOY DID SHE!!!! She ran my bill up $10, calling 411 and an old friend of mine that I haven't spoke to in years. She called him 3 times, and one time she was on the phone with my friend for over an hour. Should I call my friend to apologize?? What should I tell my daughter?? She is always taking my stuff and hiding it!

Answer 1

put a lock on ya phone! as for your friend a quick sorry will do!

Answer 2

To do this much damage (and erase the log off the phone) your daughter is super smart or older than 3. More importantly, if she used the phone that much, how did you not know she had it.

She is too young to understand the concept of stealing and that this is wrong. I wonder if she is getting enough attention.

Answer 3

Nope I keep MY cellphone in MY room in MY handbag, and when my daughter was 3 MY room was off limits to her. Obviously your 3 year old's mother doesn't know how to keep her cellphone out of reach of a 3 year old.

Answer 4

I know this isn't socially acceptable, but I'd paddle. You can't have her using your phone, and you can't have her hiding important things. To get that through her mind, she may need to be paddled. But not until she does it again. The punishment needs to follow the problem behavior directly, or she'll forget what she's being paddled for.

Answer 5

lol...You should get her a telemarketing job!

Tell your friend "Sorry"

Tell your daughter "No"

Start hiding her things....

Put the phone up higher next time ;)

Answer 6

apologize that friend and then keep all your stuff out of her reach
