re: I had no clue about Life360 until….

We've used 360 for as long as its been around. Our kids (grown and out of state) knew it was on their phones and didn't care. It was more a safety issue in locating them if needed. We are all still on it and anyone in the group can see where others are.
Last year we got an alert to check on one of the members who was recorded stopping very fast from a decent speed and we should check on him. Turns out he was on his bike and a car pulled out in front of him and he Tboned the vehicle. His wife was able to go to the scene immediately and assist him with his jacked up bike and a ride home.
I'm not a fan of using it to intrude, but like the safety aspect.

It'll also tell you if the person your tracking was in a wreck. But yeah it's a nanny app but has a lot of uses.

You are embarrassed by your own driving, huh?

My family has it.
I don’t hound the teens with it. They are pretty good kids anyway. If one of them gets plastered at a party and needs a ride, I can get to them. I am not gonna apologize for that.
If I get stuck on a lake. Or like last year, I locked my keys in my truck on the hunting lease People know where I am.
It’s all information that every cell phone company is recording on us anyway. Might as well have access to it.

So hilarious how gen x brags about having nearly total freedom in adolescence and then lords over their kids like kim jong un when it’s their turn.

Have the daughter put her phone in airplane mode. I do when driving my kids so my ex can’t track it.

I disagree. Keeps people in line.

A few weeks ago I was at my moms and my sister was there and she had to ask her daughter something and before she called she said "let me see where she is first", she checks and she is like "she is picking the kids up from daycare right now, I am going to give her some time to get home, I will call her in 30 mins".
I don’t know about having this for a daughter who has kids herself, but I guess it could have been pushed up to your sister by her daughter depending on their ages.
But if you have it this actually seems like a smart way to use it. I don’t want to distract family while driving or while in class.

One morning I got a text from my mother in law asking if I was ok, because she got a notification that I had an unsafe drive. That’s the last time she saw my location.
Love her, but that was a big nope.

Your wife probably should have told you this beforehand as well as your daughter if she didn’t tell her either. I also think the daughter knows and probably knows how to work around it if she wanted to.
Life360 probably has too much stuff, but some here will even complain and be a “keyboard” hands off and “cool” parent about families sharing Find My for devices regardless of what they actually do in their real life.
At least with Find My it’s voluntary for the most part (screen time restrictions can lock it down a little), can be disabled temporarily by each person, notifies the person if you ask for a notification based on his or her location, doesnt have speed records or notifications, doesn’t keep a historical record of locations, even allows user to switch what device is showing your location if someone really needs to fool someone that badly into thinking they are at work or home or wherever while actually somewhere else and still answering the texts and calls being forwarded to another device, but it’s there if a device gets lost or if a safety needs come up. There are additional options for wreck notifications that doesn’t require find my sharing.
Because he waited too long to let us know he lost his AirPod Pros when he was having to use cheaper headphones I liked to use it to show my kid his AirPods traveling around Mexico until the person figured out to just reset them.

I broke down in BR today and checked to see if my 17yo could pick me up. I had completely forgotten she was in NO and who she was with. We don't all use the app the same way.
She is with my mom and niece. I didn't remember until I was retold hours later.

Life360 is the first sign of a cuck with a bulldozer mom. At least it wasn't on your phone, and just your daughter's.
Amazing marketing, that you can sell an app subscription that sits on top of "find my iPhone" and make stupid men pay for their anxious women's paranoia.

The unintended effect, which was easily predicted, is that kids stop telling you where they go and when they leave, because they presume you can see where they are at all times.
So, anxiety ridden moms *reduced* how their kids communicate with them. I think most parents would prefer a, "We're leaving John's place and going to look for crawfish at the creek near the Culver's before dinner," than having to constantly check their BS app to figure out where their kids were.
Total shite. Their kids aren't wandering around Matamoros, but they'll let their seed drive through intersections on an e-scooter with Airpods in without stopping, and blow it off. Humans are awful at assessing risk, women most of all. I understand that is by design, but we've lost most of the men to push back on it even a little.
