Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent,stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.
The 57yearold,fatherofthree,revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the selfmade billionaire explained.
He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining,“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”
Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts,Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16,who he describes as “independent”.He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”.

normal an upbringing as possible.
