When Your Parents Disagree About AI Rules
One parent says 'use it for everything,' the other says 'never touch it.' Here's how to navigate that.
What to actually do
- Ask both at the same time when you can — hate the awkwardness, love the clarity
- If they disagree, ask them to talk to each other first — you stay out
- If one parent's rule is way looser, ask if it's okay with the stricter one before using it
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: Your parents will sometimes disagree. Your job isn't to pick a winner — it's to be honest with both.
