[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids, husband, and I have location sharing enabled amongst the four of us on Google Maps.

We don't check each other's location very often time, but it's been nice to see where someone is without texting them.

The kids are teenagers now, but before they had cell phones, they would be a local park, on their bikes, or at a friend's place for hours at a time. [b]Oddly, I know more about there whereabouts now than I did before they got cell phones![/b]

I can also see my elderly parent's location. It's been helpful in various scenarios.[/quote]

This is a problem, I think. Tracking gives a false sense of confidence. My vote is less tracking, more talking.[/quote]

I know where my child is with a great deal of confidence, which is the entire point. [/quote]

I guess depending on the age of the kid (14yo is different than hs senior) I would ask why you need to know 24/7. [/quote]

And I would ask you to mind your own business and worry about raising your own kids. It's not that difficult. [/quote]

You don’t have to answer, but maybe somebody else would. [/quote]

Sure, sort of like you don't need to ask questions that are none of your business. [/quote]
