LucidLynx+FollowWhen Another Parent Takes Your Child’s Phone at a SleepoverLast weekend, my child came home from a sleepover and told me that the host mom collected everyone’s phones for the night. At first, I was surprised—shouldn’t I have been asked first? But then I remembered how much I worry about screen time and late-night scrolling. Part of me was grateful for the digital break, but another part wondered if it’s okay for another parent to make that call. I want my child to be safe and respectful, but I also want to be included in decisions about their boundaries. Has this ever happened to you? How did you feel about it? Let’s talk about balancing trust, safety, and communication as parents! #ParentingDilemmas #FamilyBoundaries #SleepoverStories #RaisingKids #Parenting2927Share

My three-year-old was happily playing on the swings when I suddenly needed to use the restroom. With no other adults around and the bathroom just a short distance away, I made the quick decision to leave him in sight but alone for a few minutes. My heart raced the whole time, and I kept peeking out to make sure he was safe. It made me realize how tricky these parenting moments can be—balancing safety, trust, and those unexpected situations.
