[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't and have never tracked my 3 teen/YA boys. Seems super weird to me. And I would never want them tracking me. Also weird.[/quote]

You don’t want to be a responsible parent ?[/quote]

Not sure when tracking technology became a requirement for being a 'responsible parent'. [/quote]

Responsible parent = building trust
Tracking parent = "I don't trust you"[/quote]

It's not about trust, it's about safety. I don't look at it unless I have a specific concern (almost never).[/quote]

Our whole family is on Life360.  One kid is out of college and in his own apartment, the other is in college.  My mother (who lives in another state) is on our account.  Do I look to see where everyone is?  No.  Do they look to see where I am?  Only my one son who will sometimes call me and say "hey I see you're at X store will you please pick up whatever for me", which I think is funny.  I think he looks when he comes to the house and I'm not there.  Could he call and ask?  Sure.  Do I care if he looks for me on Life360?  No.[/quote]
