re: Let's talk about Life360

We have a family group. Hubby, myself, teen daughter, pre-teen daughter, and older mom. It actually helps me be less helicopter to my kids. I don't make my older daughter check in. She drives them both 45 minutes to school and has workouts after school across town, so it's major peace of mind just being able to look for a second and see that they made it. It's knowing my 78 year old mom made it home safely. Knowing that hubby is 15 minutes away so I can have dinner ready...things like that. I really don't ever use it to "track."

We're tracked everywhere we go anyway. I think it can be a good tool for parents, and it's busted many a wayward spouse as well

Lets say god forbid of course you have an accident. What is it going to help to notify anyone that you had one? You don't think police, emt, hospital etc are going to call you?

Or want their children to have even the slightest hint of independence?
How does knowing your child's whereabouts, equal them losing independence?
Liability falls on the parents now. Courts have made it that way. So if I'm liable, I'm following my assets
Sorry you got caught at a massage parlor by your wife

There ain't no baws in this thread. Just a bunch of nutless cucks who do whatever their wives tell them to do.

Wife tracks the kids on it. I refused to join. ??
Mostly she uses it to see how far away they are when we are waiting for them.

I bet if you think real hard you can figure it out.

No one fricking tracks me unless I give them permission to.......I'm damn near 50 years old......one of my biggest pet peeves is whenever someone ask me "Where you at"....I dont care if it's my parents that are in their 70's, my kids, my wife, my best friends.......I'm a grown arse man...It's none of your fkn business where I'm at

I think this is where you’re struggling. It’s not a need. It’s a convenience.
-If someone is shopping and you need something that might not be worth requesting based on where exactly they are, it’s convenient.
-If you need an ETA on someone who is driving, it’s convenient.
-If someone is coming to pick you up, you know when they’ll get there with more precision.

My wife and the younger one used to have it. My daughter actually requested my wife get it so she'd know when she was getting close to school to pick her up.
Now that she's 17 I think she turned it off as it's not so great anymore for her mom to always know where she is
I've never had it.

I have 2 of them. Both driving. I don't know where they are unless I ask them. Somehow they haven't gotten into any trouble, been arrested or knocked any chick's up yet.
That's great.
I like having it on my kids phone, not to "track", but to get an idea of where she is and a timeline for when she's coming back or going to her school athletic events, as it makes me feel more at ease that she's on the correct path and safe.
I also like it for when she and her friends go somewhere by themselves so I can check sporadically that they are where they're supposed to be and not speeding towards the Mexican border or somewhere other than where she's supposed to be.
If some modicum of her independence is infringed upon in order for us to know she's safe, then so be it. I'm fine with that and will wear it proudly. That said, I don't cast any aspersions on folks like yourself that don't have Life360 - you do you.

Wut? If I'm in a ditch somewhere, I want the police and other agencies to be notified so I can be found. People die from being "lost" in plain sight after accidents.
And some of you guys are going to extremes here. No one has the app open 24/7 and is using it like that. It's opened here and there as needed like any other tool.
If someone if tracking you 24/7, then yeah, maybe they have trust issues.

What kind of nut job is okay with being tracked 100% of the time.
We don't have life 360, but I share my location with my wife and vice versa. I have nothing to hide and if I want to know where she is it's easier to just bring up the map than call her. She sucks at answering her phone, so an example could be that I go to the gym at lunch on Friday, I come back home and she's not here. I can just look at the map and see that she's at Target or something like that.

Your phone is as well, app or no app.
