I think your young teens will be faced with many situatoin... drinking party, their date drank before a dance, they were going to get food after "activity" but it is pouring rain, they want to go to the movies with friends and parents are 30 minutes away but it's only a 15 minute uber ride (with 4 friend, $3/chidl)...

I do think it is good for kids to learn how to navigate getting around... bus, metro, driving, walking and uber.

It's just another form of transportation.[/b] Do you guys forbid your kids from taking metro and bus also?[/quote]

One might say the same of hitchhiking. Not that hitchhiking is necessarily comparable to Uber, but I think the posters have made it quite clear that it's this specific form of transportation they have concerns about, not the concept of transportation in general.[/quote]

Sure, metro is very dangerous. There are parents that do not let their kids take take metro. I don't judge them for not allowing metro. If you don't like uber that is a parenting decision, it does not make a better parent or a worse parent. Just know that friends will be taking metro and uber and that your kid will either not be included or you will have to drive them.

I don't allow private planes where the father is the pilot. You might. So my child did not go to the cape that weekend, life did not end. [/quote]
