Do you still use life 360 with your 20-30+ year old?

Anonymous
What age do you stop using LIFE 360 to see where your kids are at? Mine will turn 18 and might turn off life 360,..

What!? OMG no.

Can't your kids turn it off? I would imagine they would do so long before 30?!!?

Our family has never used it. It seems weirdly intrusive and smothering to me, even for young teens and tweens.

I use it for my adult child with serious mental illness. When that one goes missing it’s good to know if they are moving so we know they are alive. I get that it’s no guarantee because phones can be stolen or given away. But it’s helpful.

But for my others? No it’s creepy.

Can any of you imagine doing this with your own parents? I can't.

I don't know what Life 360 is--I thought it was a diet program, but the context suggests otherwise--but I can still say with 100% confidence that the answer is NO. =

It's popular in the Teen Forum, We have it, but never use it, we just give the app like $ 7.00 or so a month for no reason...

My 20 yr old DC shares Findmy with me. Like another poster, my DC has mental health challenges and it is v helpful during crisis to know where they are at.

We share location when we are driving to see them...or maybe they are on a long drive just so someone knows where they are but their choice.

One of them shares location and can see ours too on iPhone. Others just turned it off after 18 birthdays. We never tracked them, unless if there was a reason to do a safety check.

My teen shares location with a bunch of friends, so I don’t see why sharing with us is big deal.

Same here.

NT 22 year old stopped sharing at 18/high school graduation

SMI 20 year old still shares his location, willingly.

17 year old still shares her location, willingly. She plans on sharing it with us in college as well. I don't use it to watch every move they make. But it is a nice safety feature. Similarly I share my location with all of them.

Yes and I do. If you are close with your parents and can foresee being in a caretaker role for them, do it now before they get dementia and get paranoid/cranky about it this way it’s just in the background and they forget about it.

Aka - I see my dad right now at the donut place.
