[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never tracked my kids - HS, college, and young adult. I prefer to parent, not stalk. I disagree with the posters saying tracking is not stalking. I've been with so many friends who pull out their phones to see where their kids are. It's creepy. Have some trust in your relationship with your kids.[/quote]

I have friends whose kids are required to say (in 11th and 12th grade) "I'm going to xx's house" every time they leave their own home.  To me that is FAR more controlling and creepy than having an in-case-of-emergency way of locating them.

[b]"I'm going to xx's house" is general respect for people you live with.[/b] DH and I can locate each other on the phones, but we rarely if ever do - we just say where we're going. When I go out I tell the kids where I'm going and approximate when I'm getting back and I expect the same from them. [/quote]

You do you.  I consider that super controlling.  I don't tell my husband everywhere I"m going.  I'll say "I'm running errands, I'll be back at 5pm" but I would never tell him where.  I give my kids the same courtesy.  They tell us when they'll be back but I don't ask for details.  I have "find my phone" in the event that I need to locate them.
