[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the teens I know use Uber but not alone.

It's a good skill and once my kids were a little older and faced with dealing with their driver drinking at a party they just get an Uber.

My son went to a concert and missed the last metro out of the city and took an Uber.

My 17 yo had an official visit to a college and he flew to the city and ubered to the interview/meeting.

I think you are really missing a chance to tech you child a skill. [/quote]

OP here. My DD uses all kinds of apps on her phone - scanning, flashcards, periods tracking, fitbit, you name it... Will UBER somehow contribute toy her tech skill? She's also been taking occasionally metro since 14. [/quote]

Not tech skills.

It will teach her how to get out of a bad situation. You will tell your child to get out of a drinking party but it's really hard to call your parents to show up to a drinking party. My children have gone to parties and when they realize there is alcohol they just Uber out. Sometimes the friend that drove doesn't want to leave.

My child was at a dance and their driver drank at the dinner party so they ubered to the dance. Sure they could have called mom and dad but the Uber is a little more low key. They just pretended they wanted to go earlier.

Once they were walking somewhere and it started pouring. They ducked into a dry place and called an Uber.

It's not like they use it every week.
