As I raised my own Daughter I carried my daughter on my cell phone plan. No problems she knew how many minutes she was able to use and never went over. I paid the bill. When my Daughter turned 16 she got a job and has had a job ever since. When my daughter turned 18 soon after she split off my cell phone and has been paying for her cell phone bill ever since.
When my started dating my So. His two children had a pay as you go cell phone. There were problems with that because he had a hard time contacting his kids. Because of a volatile relationship with the Bio- mom he never called the house to talk to the kids. Then after his then 16 Year old daughter ran away from home and no Minutes on her Pay as you go cell phone as she is a talker. No on e could contact her.
At my suggestion I suggested He add his daughter to his cell phone plan and I add his Son. And we get them both regular cell phones. Well for a few months all was fine, them the daughter was talking up a storm and my SO cell phone bill was 600.00 My SO hit the roof. And told her He was going to pay it but if it happened again He would cancel her phone. She was fine for the next few months again well this December she did it again and His cell phone bill was 600.00 again. Instead of cancelling her cell phone like he said. He has problem of following through with what he says.
So we had to cancel his cell phone plan and now I have both teenagers on my cell phone pan and both me and my SO. I told my so that when his daughter turns 18 in just 2 months she will have to get her own cell phone plan and pay or it.
Well I reminded my So that his daughter will have to be looking for a job to make sure she can pay for her own cell phone in a few months. He did not want to talk about it that she was doing just fine that she had a hard time adjusting to the divorce and that he bio mom was a difficult person to have to deal with. All these excuses as to why we need to continue to pay for her cell phone.
I told him I will not do more for his daughter than I did for my own.
