Imagine having your phone destroyed by a jealous sibling! That’s exactly what happened to one family, and now the parents are in a pickle. The mom (35F) and dad (38M) have two kids, a 13-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son. They moved across the country a few years ago, which was tough on the kids, so they got them both phones to stay connected with friends. The daughter received a newer iPhone, while the son got a cheap phone from the grocery store. Fast forward to now, and the son is envious of his sister’s phone, leading to a shocking turn of events.

To Buy or Not to Buy: The Phone Dilemma ❓
The parents are now torn between sticking to their original rule of not buying a new phone for their kids or making an exception due to the circumstances. The mom is adamant about not buying a new phone, while the dad suggests they go halves with the brother to buy a new one for the daughter. The daughter is left frustrated, using her old, slow phone and feeling like it’s unfair that she has to save up for a new one when she didn’t break it. What do you think? Should the parents buy her a new phone or stick to their rule? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family’s dilemma!
