Frustrated mom develops app that remotely locks devices until kids call back.

:rotfl:

This is what the world has come to… Not gonna lie. I’m def guilty of hitting the ignore button a couple of times. Not because I don’t want to speak to my mom/ dad… i just hate talking on the phone over all!!!

I’ll always wait for the line to either hang up on it’s own or hit ignore… And immediately send a text/ whatsapp message asking why she called :hehe: .. Which is usually followed by “WHY DON’T YOU EVER PICK UP WHEN I CALL?!” And the chappal emoji/ hand emoji (thappar) :wub:

So Here’s the article… Parents, kids not calling you back? Frustrated mom develops app that remotely locks devices until they do.

*"Called Ignore No More, Sharon embarked on the challenge of developing an app which virtually shuts the kids’ phones down until they return her message. “It takes away texting, it takes away the gaming, it takes away calling their friends. The child will always be able to call 911,” according to Sharon.

The app called Ignore No More, will remotely lock the kid’s phone, offering them only the ability to call a pre-selected list of contacts. The parent can then provide an unlock password and everything returns to normal. The app cannot be disabled by the kid either."

Interestingly enough… Just looked more into this and some comments/ reviews on the app make it seem like… not such a good idea.

I always try and pick up when my mom calls otherwise I’m never gonna hear the end of it. One thing about women in general, always answer the phone when they call. Life is less stressful.

Imagine if wives or gfs had this for their bf/hubbies.
