[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

"I'm going to xx's house" is general respect for people you live with. 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]

Definitely a good idea for you to track DH, if you know what I mean. I'm guessing you're stopping him from catting around!  LOL [/quote]

Just read an article about a woman who started tracking her husband and college age kids. She quickly realized she was the only one not getting any action![/quote]

Yeah,  this is the real reason people do this kind of thing to other adults. No one tracks another adult just to make sure the train didn't crash or to make sure dinner will still be hot for DH coming back from the big city.  It's to keep people in line. [/quote]

+1 Stalkers on here are trying to track their kids social and romantic lives. So inappropriate. [/quote]
