Our daughter, our only child, cherished baby girl is out on a date. Don't worry, she's keeping us up to date. Plus I have life 360. I know exactly where she is.๐Ÿฅบ

If she (you) need assistance, let us know

Happy to rock up with islander uncles when needed.

Thanks. This kid screams nerd (I've seen pix) drives a suburu, is into D n D and looks after old people. OMG. I can easily scare him with a baseball bat.

Good to know.

In any case, if you need a bunch of 100kg+ gospel singing bros to show up let us know.

Otherwise, we can protect him too.

I'm sorry but isn't it a bit creepy that you location-track your child like this? I'm glad that I grew up before that was a thing my parents could do.

No one cares what you think or how you grew up.

You know nothing about this person and their family and yet you're judging them based on a single comment.

Your arrogance is almost impressive if it weren't so obnoxious.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Okay...I don't think you're doing a good job of not being arrogant on the internet either though...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Nope because she put it on my phone in the first place.

Weird and gross to do to a partner (like my ex did to me, basically forced me to download life360 and then would still accuse me of cheating ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ), not so weird to do with one's child, especially if they are underage.

There's a lot of nasty rhetoric going around from boys and men regarding women and girls, it's safer knowing where their kid is and with whom.

My household uses life 360, and it's come in handy. If one of us need to be picked up, we don't have to yell on the phone trying to give out directions. It's also good for the female safety part.

I dunno, I think we as a society have been restricting the rights of teenagers more and more. I've helped a lot of young adults access resources to escape from less than stellar parents unfortunately.
