[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people that damn sensitive and insecure that a small simple gesture demonstrating care about a person’s safety and well-being is seen as some boundary intrusion and insult to their supposed independence and maturity?????

Because it's not. People have explained on here that it's a neurosis that the elderly develop. They want to know where everyone is, every second of the day. It's anxiety and you're helping to feed into it. I think a spouse should know where you are, but extended family? nope.[/quote]

I have one friend and one cousin who ask me to text when I get home. I like it. They don't seem like neurotic people. They don't need to know where I am. They just want to make sure I got home without incident. I would guess they aren't necessarily even worried I'll get into an accident, rather, it's just that it's how they were raised.

Like a pp mentioned: when I drop someone off, I don't leave until they're inside. Just how I was raised, and it makes me feel contented to know they're safe. [/quote]
