Cheers ncjlee. This post was very helpful in trying to explain to my 10yr-old why I didn't think she should Instagram.
I'd begun by saying that since there's no 2002 birth option she'd have to lie, and whilst that may seem trivial now it's a slippery slope leading to self-certified mortgages and eventual home-repossession. That didn't do the trick.
She suggested I open an account on which she could post to get round the rules - I explained that following and being followed by 10yr-old girls may be considered a little odd in a post-jimmysaville world...
This produced a glimmer of agreement, but she didn't fully buy into my argument until I showed her this post and explained that instagramming your life was a bit like opening the curtains in the morning and having the above girl peering in.
Thanks to the Rat-thread I have retained authority in the home and won a little admiration from the good lady wife for my parenting efficacy.
