All of my adult children still share their location with me. Why? They know I only give a shit about where they are when they're supposed to be somewhere and they're not there. Where are they?
When they're traveling, one lives several hours away from home, I check in from time to time to see where they are and ensure they're still making progress. Doesn't require them to interact with a phone while they're driving.
And yes, this works in reverse too: they also have my location data. My youngest is 21 and still has the occasion to use my taxi services. They check my location to ensure I've left. If I haven't left yet then they send a text reminding me to come get them.
- basisword 3y agoI can see how it can be useful but I also don’t have that urge to need constant updates. If someone has told me they’re on their way and will be x mins that’s all I need to know. It feels like the equivalent of constantly refreshing Twitter.
