[quote=Anonymous]THIS is why you should not track your college student. Unnecessary worry will ensue. And to the person who said its a "young girl sleeping off campus"... its actually an adult I'd assume. Not a "young girl".

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your college student is not going to be going to bed every night in her dorm at 10 PM after reading a book. She is going to be going out and gasp, she may even end up sleeping somewhere else.

My sophomore lives off campus and texts me when she is back home from being out. Well she texted me last night at 12:45 saying she was home and then this morning I woke up to an Uber receipt at 2 AM to another location. I was very angry and stressed until I spoke to her, (which was thankfully at 9 AM). She told me she was home alone because her roommate stayed at her boyfriends, and a friend invited her to come stay at their apartment so she Ubered over and stayed there.

SO. This is why it's best not to track every movement. They are adults and they will do things outside your house that you may not agree with, but if you have raised them right, it's time to let go and trust. I know it's hard, but you cannot control their lives anymore, and you should not. That will alienate your DD from you and ruin your relationship.[/quote]
