Yes. Your children need to learn to be responsible Uber users just like every other skill you teach them, you need to teach them how to Uber.

Why? My kids drive.

As a parent, I recognize the concerns with Uber, but a teenage driver isn't a safer solution.

Kids need to learn to drive and they need to learn how to Uber.

It's the obnoxious insistence that everyone at school Ubers all the time. No they don't. Maybe they do in an emergency (car broke down, need to get to school) or they might uber to/from a concert every now and then. But calling uber to go to a friend's house, the mall, Starbuck's....that's just silly to me.

OP here. That is my case exactly. The kids had a break between the activities and just ventured into a nearby shopping center for a bite.

SO easy to make a fake to put in your window.

I always identify my uber by the license plate - how they would fake that?

It's hard when it's her friends doing this. But I would feel uncomfortable with allowing that, too.

I didn't say they Uber all the time. But they do Uber. oP's daughter is already ubering.

Yes teens Uber.

If she's using her friends' apps to go places w/o your permission that is bad. Since these apps aren't under your control you have no idea where she's going, what she's doing, who she's with. Her friends decide that.

She's 15. No way.

So her friends have a break and they are going to Uber to get food and you want your daughter to stay where she is alone instead of ubering to get food with her friends?

Call me a control freak. But if my 15 year old wants to go somewhere, he needs MY express permission - not his friend's - MINE.

Just activate find friends and track her phone.

We do this so we know if our kids are driving and we don't text or call when they are driving.

Op's daughter needs to ask Op if it is o.k to Uber over to/from (some specific spot) during these breaks. Op's daughter can not just jump into her friend's Uber car w/o Op's permission. Or at least that's the way it would be with me.

What happens if the car is in an accident, Op has no clue where her daughter is and her daughter has no ID on her. Op in the meantime thinks her daughter is at her activity. She has no clue that her daughter is on 66 heading to Fair Oaks Mall.

Maybe she left her phone at the activity so that Op wouldn't be able to bust her.

You find the PHONE with that find friends thing - not necessarily your kid.

Yes my kids always tell me where they are going. Mostly they walk. Rarely they Uber. But it does happen.

This is weird that you think kids don't tell their parents where they are going.

If you kid is lying to you that is your problem not Uber.

If a kid is Ubering around town using her friends' apps, she is likely informing her mom "Hey, I'm eating Pizza over at the mall".

Yes. Your kids need to communicate with you when they Uber, of course.

Just like when Larla's mom picks them up to get food, my kid tells me.
