A parent wrote to the Care and Feeding column about concerns related to location-sharing with their 16-year-old son, who has been using an app to track their location. The parent explained that the son started using the app to avoid being questioned about where he was. The parent worries that sharing their location might lead to their son not respecting their time or pressuring them to leave work early. They also fear the son might use the location data to avoid them or to check up on their chores. Additionally, the parent is in a new relationship and is not ready to share it with their children, fearing the son might ask questions about their whereabouts during visits with their father. The column responded by saying that while the parent is not required to share their location, they should not feel forced to do so. The writer emphasized that location-sharing can feel like surveillance and that parents are not equal partners with their children. It is important for parents to consider their comfort and boundaries when deciding whether to share personal information. In another letter, a parent described their sister's situation, in which she moved into a new neighborhood with roommates. However, their family's mother contacted child protective services, claiming the children were in danger. The sister and her sibling are upset with their mother and are considering not attending family gatherings. The column advised focusing on moving away from unproductive conversations and finding polite ways to set boundaries with their brother, who is pressuring them to attend a family gathering. If the sister and her sibling want to maintain a relationship with their mother, the column suggested they should eventually address the mother's actions directly. Another letter discussed concerns about a 14-year-old daughter, Evelyn, who is being pressured by her grandparents to get a smartphone. The parents have a policy of waiting until she is 16 and have given her a flip phone with no internet access. The grandparents, who are tech-savvy, are undermining the parents' decision by telling Evelyn they will buy her a phone and keep it at their house. The column suggested that the parents should set clear boundaries with their grandparents, including limiting visits if the grandparents continue to undermine their parenting decisions. The writer also advised the parents not to let other parents' opinions affect their confidence in their parenting choices.
