quote:that’s a load of bullshite. Yesterday we were out of town. Oldest stayed home. Got up went to football field to watch some film, went and hit on baseball field, went and played 18 holes at par 3 course. Went to Chic fila for lunch. Came home to do his chores watched cfb on porch w a couple buddies. Then at 7 asked to go to Natchitoches to go to some haunted house shite. This is pretty typical of a Saturday for him. All choices he made to go where he wants, when he wants, and pretty much how he wants. I asked who was driving to Natchitoches, you know why? Because a few of his friends drive like morons. I know because I have observed them around town. Also when he has ridden w them 360 shows terrible driving habits. The one he rode with is the opposite. He came home alive and pretty much on time.
The problem is that many of you aren't even really raising your kids. You're just full time babysitters. Doing everything you can to protect them from any potential harm instead of letting them grow and learn from life experiences to become emotionally mature and self sufficient adults. You do it for your own piece of mind and honestly it's extremely selfish.
Do you suggest I just ignore data. There is no guarantee that bad things won’t happen. But when you have data that tells you what the better choice is, you say ignore it?

That is literally exactly what it does. Frankly it's pretty psychotic to want to have that much access and control over even your family members. Especially your family members.

for me it allows more freedom for my kid. He runs around for a few days. He tells us what goes on. I verify it occasionally. He is truthful. Life goes on. He is untruthful I let him know he needs to be truthful. He rides w someone driving like a bat outta hell, tell him he needs to do better.
I don’t know what people think Life360 does.
It tracks the location of your kids and/or spouse. And I don't think that's healthy for any parties involved. Why not just let your kid go out without monitoring where he is? If he fvcks up that's life you live you learn. At what age are you going to stop? How would you feel growing up knowing your parents monitored your every location and movement?

I think its funny you think you are so special that anyone really cares about your specific data.
Some of you are so proud of your ignorance.
So the guy that leaves his phone at home most of the time and acts like he doesn't need technology, cares more about what technology is good and bad for him ?
Just admit you are full of crap about not using/ needing tech or you wouldn't care so much about what tech tracks and cares about you so much.
What data am I supposed to be so scared of big tech having? Please enlighten me. hint: I really don't give a shite

It normalizes control issues.

Again, I'm not tracking them. If there's an emergency or I can't find them, I can use it.
If you think your parents and grandparents wouldn't have wanted to know where you were when they told you to come home at dark and you were 60 mins late, then you are full of crap. The only reason they didn't track you more is because they couldn't.
If anything, it allows me to give my daughter more space. With a cell phone, which btw your parents and grandparents didn't have access to either, she can change her plans, let me know where she is going, stay out later, go to new places, etc
I'd argue it actually gives my kids more freedoms than I had.

My kids go out and change their plans all the time without letting me know they're every move.

So you don't have an app that tells you exactly where they are?

They'd ask me and tell me not to do it again. They're your kids, not your prisoners.

Your 11 year old leaves the junior high football game and goes places without telling you?
Maybe you just arent a great parent then?
If your kids are older and driving, I don't really give a shite. I'm talking about my middle school daughter.

I’ll stop when he is a fully developed person in whatever area I am concerned about. My first never cared about light sockets. I never covered them. My second tried to stick shite in em, I covered them? Should I have let him live and learn? Of course not. But guess what? He grew, he developed, no more light socket covers….that’s just how it works.

Teens and elderly have higher death rates in accidents. It’s just science. Using info to help them develop is sensible.

I would have been depressed as shite.
"Hey you wanna go down to the river & jump off the bluffs?"
"No, my mommy says its too dangerous & she's monitoring me right now on LIFE360".

Youre confusing parenting with babysitting.

Why do you think this is some sort of gotchya?
I could not care less what you think. I have the ability to locate my 11 year old daughter if and when I want. Call that what you want. If you think that's a terrible thing, good for you.
My daughter can see where I am too, OMG! Its terrible!
I guess I'm sorry for being a good parent and caring?

Maybe, maybe not, but at least I'm some type of parent as opposed to a full-time babysitter. This is more about your piece of mind than it is her development into a functioning and well adjusted young lady. It's sad really.

I don't think you realize who "snowflakey" your position on this topic actually is. It's ironic. Also you clearly have low impulse control.

Being a parent to young kids is being a full time babysitter...what do you think having an 11 year old is supposed to be? You just let them go stretch their wings and jump off the cliff without teaching them to fly first?
You call it track because it makes you feel good. Why do you care about how I parent? Why does that matter so much? Call it what you want, I don't give a shite.
I can locate my daughter if I need or want. Again, I haven't logged in for probably 2 weeks.
My daughter uses it more often to "track" me picking her up than I do for her. Again, call that what you want.
