[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In June my 17-yr-old went to beach week with classmates in NC. Drove there with another kid his age. Of course I had him use turn on the Life 360 free version. (I've no idea what the PP above is talking about when they say you can turn off things with it. I just know how to track the general vicinity of the phone.) Now that he's in PA about 8 weeks later, we're supposed to have zero interest in making sure he's where he is supposed to be?

As I see it, this is a transition period. I have no intention of needing to keep tabs on him once we've set up a regular pattern of communicating and checking in. He isn't even old enough to vote or buy cigarettes, FFS, so why would we pretend that he is a full fledged independent adult all of a sudden? It's not like he even wants that yet. He doesn't want us telling him what time to go to bed or with whom to go to bed, nor do we want to be involved in those issues any longer. But that's a long way from having zero connection to us.[/quote]

You do realize that your DS is younger than many of his peers? My freshman last year turned 19 in October so yeah, she didn't want us tracking her life on Life360, and I respect that. Everyone’s kid is different.[/quote]
