The only thing that really seemed to work was "I can't make you do anything, but I also don't have to give you things that you'll enjoy or allow you to play video games etc, so think about just how far you want to go here in insisting that you don't want to go to your room."

last week the wife took the kids on a mini vacation for four days during spring break along with her mother and sister while I stayed home alone with the dog. This week they are at the MIL’s all week because our kids school district is still off this week but my wife’s spring break is over and she has to go back to teaching this week. ngl it has been nice to be kid free this much, my mental stress levels are waaay down. Plus, we can watch something in the evening without getting interrupted 47x by the children coming down after bedtime.

The Fool posted:just ask your question OK so here's my story. Because I am a good parent, my kids don't have their own iPhones or iPads. But, because I am a bad parent, they have an iPhone and an iPad that they sahre. The iPhone has a prepaid SIM and basically functions as a "house phone". We want to get them Apple Watches so that they can go out and about in the world and be able to contact us without having an actual phone. However, while you can have two watches attached to one phone, you can't have both watches work at the same time. At least that's what I've been able to figure out so far. Also seems annoying for them to have to share a number at that point. So the question is what should I do. Actually typing all this out made me realize that I should just get them phones gently caress an apple watch that's dumb.

sharing numbers/accounts like that is directly opposite of apples supported pattern and you're going to have an up hill battle the entire time if you keep doing that let them have their own numbers and accounts, set them up in a family and make sure everyone has everyone else's contacts

I’m a bad parent so my kid has the cheap iPad. I’m a good parent because I turned off everything and require him to submit requests via family settings to download new apps from the App Store, so I can reject all the lovely games he sees on ads that get through the pihole. so it’s basically a portable slay the spire and Disney plus console. the screen time isn’t ideal but he’s not watching a bunch of weird Hitler youth pretend to be superheroes on YouTube at least.

if you lock it down app-wise and leave it in low-power mode the whole time I bet it would last 3 days between charges, so you work it into the bedtime routine and you're set? maybe?
