Mom's own iPhone use ToC (Terms of Conditions) to her son

Yeah, I take back what I said (mostly). I understand the mother's intent, and forgot that different households have different rules. This could mostly be rules this child already follows and understands as a part of their daily life. I forget to think of every side of the story sometimes, that's all.

When do you ever get stuff for free? People always expect a present back, a "thank you", gratitude or something.
Different string, but there's always strings attached to gifts.

If you expect something in return for a gift, then you're doing it wrong.
