Screen time limits hasn't been working for months, have had several support cases in regards to it, debugging and logs sent to Apple and nothing.

Second to last time they actually admitted to having problems with the function (accidentally I am sure since I can bet money on that they aren't allowed to admitting to faults).

Have just given up on the function now

It works on my 2 boys’ but not on my daughter’s. Good thing is she told me it wasn’t working and still followed the rules by not using it after a certain time of day. She’s a great kid. On the other hand, both of my boys would have totally abused it.

Precisely the same here gender wise!!

I do like the mix. My oldest is a boy, middle is a girl, youngest is a boy. Kind of lucked out. 😂
