Microsoft founder Bill Gates has talked about to be a good parent, saying that 13 is a right age for a child's first mobile phone. The 57-year-old father of three said on the Today show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteen birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

“We've made a rule in our family that it's 13 when you get a phone.” He also said as a result his child often returned home from school complaining, “All the other kids have it, I'm the only without it, it's so embarrassing.”

Asked if he keeps passwords (密碼) to his son and daughters’ e-mail and Facebook accounts(帳號) . Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer, 16, who he says is “old enough”.

Besides their wealth Mr and Mrs Gates ,who live in Lake Medina, have said they want to raise

their three children as usually as possible. It is said that their kids have to do housework at home after school and aren't given much pocket money.

And in 2010Mr Gates said that he wanted to give most of his $61 billion away rather than hand it down. “That wouldn't be good either for my kids or society,” he said.

Mr Gates left Microsoft in 2008 to put his heart to charity. During the Today interview with host Matt Lauer, he said that helping others made him feel happy as creating software.

“ What you really feel is what you’ve achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work down in better ways—that’s exciting.” he replied.
