My Teenage daughters don't love me anymore ;)

all you can hope for is to keep showing them the way and hope they come out the other end OK
cheers

Sorry I missed this 
I agree with you, I keep telling myself this.

We talk about, they agree they should spend less time in front of their phones/Ipod,whatever, things are great for a couple of days, maybe a week then we notice they are spending more & more time with their devices, the back chatting, disagreeing and attitude is back. It's time to pull them into reality again and all hell breaks loose again for a couple hours. next morning they are still cold towards us, but they talk to us, the ask & don't demand, they answer questions with more than a single syllable noise.
Lets see what this arvo brings when they come home from school.

Did you get one of those routers?

[Hairs]

Not yet, 
Got other things to get first, guess we will have to work out how to deal with this in the mean time.
Hmm, We'll sit down with them again this arvo and talk about it again. there has to be a way that it is a compromise for all of us.
Maybe give them some ownership of the time/s they would like to spend on line with their mates, gotta try something

We have a wifi extender. They are at aldi for $40 at the moment. They're meant to give a better longer range signal to your current wifi but they show up as a separate thing. Connect yourselves to the normal router and the kids to the wifi extender (disconnect them from the regular wifi). That way you can unplug the wifi extender when you don't want them on the net. And this way you can still use the net. My wifi extender cost $80. So not bad for $40 from aldi

Been done here, especially after my daughter and her best friend disappeared at school to meet someone, that had hacked the school system and chatted them up.    (they were 13yrs)

She is now a very switched on young woman about these things.

maybe we need to buy a bulk amount of this publication called IDISORDER and get them read it to understand what the dangers are and how to walk away from technology sometimes to at least have time out.
