My Sixth Grader Has Entered His Group Chat Era, & I Hate It

I wasn't ready.

Oct. 22, 2024 Sally Anscombe/Photodisc/Getty Images Nope! My Sixth Grader Has Entered His Group Chat Era, & I Hate It The phones – they're coming for all of us, friends. And Samm Davidson is dealing with it all sooner than she'd like: "I was putting groceries away in the kitchen while my 11-year-old son sat at the counter eating a snack, when I heard a 'ping.' I suspected it was his Apple watch, but that was weird, since he only uses it to communicate with my husband and me when he's out of the house. As I fumbled some groceries into a cabinet, a melody of pings began, followed by an alarming tween giggle. 'What's that?' I asked. 'Oh, Mom, it's the sixth-grade group chat!' he responded excitedly." Maybe he was excited, but she certainly wasn't. And today she's talking about what happened next. — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor Read More ⮕ Latest FG Trade/E+/Getty Images juggling Is It Too Late To Date?
