We all share locations. We consider it to be part of making certain everyone is safe in the city. It keeps texting to a minimum and we glance at it occasionally, not every day.

Kids share, parents do not.

We don't share locations either way.

That is sharing locations, assuming you usually have your phones with you.

Both parents & our teen can all see each other’s locations via find my phone. We don’t look at it very often, but my son might look if we are late picking him up, and I might look to see if my spouse has left work yet. But not daily or anything.

Yes, it is basically the same.

We all share our locations. My kids are 16, 13, 11 and it is really helpful. When they go to college they can decide if they want to share or not.
If I don't want them to know where I'm going, I turn my location off.

I share mine, he asked me to in order to be reciprocal, and I could see no reason to decline. He's welcome to see that I am with my friends at book club or a restaurant or at work or the gym.

We all share location via Apple. Kids and I also have Life 360, but DH won't use it.

We all share locations. Both parents, both adult children living out of state and both teens living at home. It gets used most often between my adult daughter and myself. We will check location first before calling. If I see she is at work then I send a text. She knows when I can talk if driving, local vs long distance, and not to call if I am at an appointment.
We require location sharing of our teens but gave the older ones the option to stop and they both chose to keep sharing.

We all share. I have no secrets. It helps if I’m all of 2 minutes late, my kids don’t spam me with 10 “where are you????” Messages because they can track and see I’m close.

This. They only share when they’re traveling back to college. I don’t share either.

We all share locations in my family. Sharing location has been crucial during a couple of emergencies including one of them being a car accident.

I share both ways, but I'm also a single parent who works FT and goes into the office 2 or 3 times a week. It's just more convenient for the kids to be able to see that I'm already on the Metro, for example.

Curious if most parents now share their locations or only have the locations of their children?
