Poll: If you had a 12 year old daughter...?

[Mikaela Stewart]

My daughter will follow along in some of my childhood.
1. Yes. I would get her a phone. I would by her an iPhone, because I could keep up with her and text her when she needs to come home.
2. Her allowance would be monthly, and it would be 15-20 dollars.
3. Yes. But I need to meet the boyfriend first, to make sure he won't hurt her.
4. I would allow her to have gadgets, as long as she does it the way I grew up: I approve, and she saves up for it.
5. Bedtime on a school night? Hmm...I'd say 9 o' clock. I won't give her a bedtime too early, because she's twelve.
6. Friday and Saturday bedtimes...10 or ten thirty. maybe quarter to eleven. Not going over midnight.
7. No. When I was really little, I went to church almost every sunday with my Nana and sometimes my Mom and always a brother or two. As time went by we barely ever went. But it is still her choice.
8. Yes. I will remind her to do it until a certain time.
9. Depends if she needs to have it done by Monday or Tuesday.
10. Yes, but not all the time. Once and a while is nice.
11. Yes. I had to do something to be active all the time as a kid. She can choose though.
12. In the middle. I don't want her to be overprotected. I don't want to be overprotective. I grew up a bit overprotected.
13. Depends. As long as she won't say it too much.
14. Same with the previous question. She will be severely punished if she swears too much.
15. No. She can wait until she's in grade 9. She's too young for high heels.
16. As long as it is appropriate. I must approve first.
17. No way! She's mature enough to know what websites to stay off of!
18. Dust, make her bed, clean her room. Same chores as I had as a kid.
19. Depends. If it was far, bus. If it was close, she can walk or I would drive her.
20. As long as she promises not to be inappropriate.
21. Like my Mom and Dad would. I know it doesn't sound right, but call the office, or give her advice.
22. I would help her out, or call a tutor.
23. Clean her room and make her bed. Making her bed should be done every morning, in fact. Dusting can come along when needed.
24. I will ground her from one or two gadgets.
