[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids share their location with everyone on Snapchat. They simply don't care if parents know their location.[/quote]

I think this is another one of many generational differences. People who think it is creepy are probably old (or up to no good, lol).[/quote]

+1. I’m 36 and I don’t location share. It’s just not something I’m used to doing and it feels weird. My SIL is 25 and location shares with family, friends etc. and it’s a normal part of her life.

I’m not against it, I do see that it’s a normal thing in a lot of families, especially with teen/ young adult kids [/quote]

Yeah, my 24 and 20 can see all of their friends locations (it's over 25 for each of them, as you include HS friends, college friends, and now work friends for the oldest).  It's just something this generation does.  Hence why most don't care if you track them as a family.  If I stalked my kids and commenting on them going to bars/parties, they would turn it off.  But we don't.  I use it to know "don't text my kid if they are still at work or driving home". Or they are driving home, so now's a good time to call.
