Accepted Answer

I’m sorry to say Ma’am I do agree with the fact that you respect your elders a lot but when they are child’s life is at stake I don’t think so you can just take an excuse by saying I respect my elders a lot it is your child you have to take control into your hand you know if you are not going to do it you are actually spoiled so many things for the child already by not raising your voice against what’s going wrong as a mother you have to be adamant you have to teach your child in the correct way and if you’re in law and your husband are in favour of giving to the child then tell them to take care of the child teach the child everything then why are you getting bothered with the fact that your child is addicted to mobile ..

Understand as a parent it is your duty to stand against wrong and teacher child right no matter what time it takes no matter what strength it takes if you’re not going to stand up for your child then you are actually spoiling and pushing your child into that thing only with a child will only be addicted to phone will grow much more mentally before the age kids things that they should not know in this age a child would be exposed to everything please take command please take charge of the situation and change them for the good of your child
