I have tablets for purifying and rainwater, but that needs rain, and in winter it means fuel.

Food for these days should not be dependent on water.

If your food needs water to be eaten then you need to store that extra water, which is by far the largest part you need to keep.

Because, being an American company they are bound by US rules. Meaning in an embargo, it’s lights out.

And that’s also very fair, i tend to agree with you where parenting is more educating than helicoptering.

However cities are different, countries are different, norms even, and what might work in Paris, might not work in Dallas, or in Helsinki.

Also some kids might enjoy having the ability to talk to their parents and don’t see it as an infringement on their freedom, because it’s also how you act on the information you’re given. Others might not. You might even change your opinion if your circumstances change too.

I’d say, had you said - for my particular situation - I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

All that said, kids making mistakes and being kept far from monitoring and social media is a good thing 🤓

And thank you for being cool about this 🤩

I’ll reply to you once, because i feel it needs to be said.

Other people, have other lives, in other places, with different kids. That gives them a different situation to yours. The fact that you and yours can/can’t do a thing doesn’t mean others can/cant.

Thank you
