[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids  are good kids who make good decisions, have good friends and are mindful to make healthy choices.

Yes, the anxiety remains because you worry about your kids.  Here is how I cope 
- they have access to our google pay, uber, starbucks, amazon, costco accounts. 
- we all do location sharing. 
- they both have newer but average cars with all kinds of safety features
- they live in safe neighborhoods and buildings
- they don't have a flashy lifestyle. they don't keep expensive things with them
- they have a support system - family, friends, money, open to therapy, regular yoga and meditation practice. 
- they don't have a lifestyle or drugs, booze, vaping, clubbing etc.  they are nerdy. [/quote]

Why do adult children share their locations? This seems weird.[/quote]
We started sharing it when we went to Europe for the oldest kids Hs grad gift.  And it's never been turned off.  We don't stalk, I mainly use it to only call if they are at home, not work or out.  It's a safety item just like I share my u er rides with my partner, our kids share u er rides with us or their friends if they are solo [/quote]

I guess that makes sense, but I don't want to know where my adult kids are!

As far as the OP, I think no news is good news. There isn't anything you can do anyway.[/quote]

Just understand this all comes full circle.

When your kids are 50 they will want your location because they will wonder why 80 year old mom is randomly in Kansas when you live in DC.

Not that extreme, but a parent with dementia can start doing odd things.[/quote]
