Believe me I understand the anxiety around not knowing where your kid is, but consider that nobody knew where we were at that age. Think about the absolutely insane shit you got up to, that should have gotten you killed a thousand times over, and yet here you are.
Control will not keep them safe, and is in fact counter-productive. The more you control, the less responsibility and trust you give, the less of that, the more prone to catastrophic mistakes.
- igetspam 3y agoThe idea that this is about "control" is incorrect. It's about safety. I want to know where my kid is, if I can't find them. I want to know they're at school and not the woods between school and home. I don't need to know what they're doing but I do want to know where they are, if they aren't where I expect them to be because I love them and don't want them to get hurt.
- ghusto 3y agoSorry, maybe "control" was misplaced. What I mean is that you can't keep them safe in that way (by trying to "control" the situation).
