1. When you get heavy rains, do you get floods in your home or on your street?

2. What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

3. Do you light candles at home and what is your favorite scent?

Nobody said need, you are making that up, you were corrected earlier on that point yet you still clinging to something that hasn't been said.

Some families are closer than others, some choose to share their calendards, get over it already.

.  Perhaps.  I think its a personality thing.  The older one went through a phase in high school where he was on the phone more.  The younger one, never.  My foster daughter is a heavy phone user.  She will often have 10K texts on her phone in month.  I don't think either of the boys haa ever topped 600.

I don't think so, my kids aren't on their phones all the time either and they aren't into social media that much.  They do use their phones for news, weather, sport scores, calendar, alarm clocks and so forth, but they aren't on them all the time.

Maybe you would be willing to share your reason since no one else will tell me.

I was curious, so I checked our account. We're about 1/3 of the way through the billing cycle and have 538 text messages between 4 phones. That's me, two 15 year olds, and a 20 year old. I think there was a period of time when dd alone could have used that many herself over a few days, back when she was 12-13, and texting was so new and novel for her and her friends.

You have not given any examples nor has anyone else why someone would be synced with someone else's calendar on their phones.
